    Mindesmærke for Jørgen Manniche

    A solemn memorial plaque at Skibbrogade 17 in Kalundborg commemorates Jørgen Manniche, a 23-year-old Danish resistance fighter killed by German gunfire on May 4, 1945, during the final days of World War II. The memorial marks the spot where he was shot while seeking shelter, and serves as a poignant reminder of the cost of liberation and the innocent lives lost in the struggle for freedom.

    Kalundborg Slot

    Once one of Denmark’s most important royal strongholds, Kalundborg Slot has largely vanished from the skyline, but its story still anchors the medieval heart of Kalundborg. Here, where fortifications once guarded the fjord and kings and nobles plotted politics, you now trace subtle earthworks, fragments, and street lines that echo the vanished castle. Combined with the nearby five-towered Church of Our Lady and the old town’s cobbled lanes, this is a site best appreciated through imagination, history and a slow wander rather than monumental walls.

  90. Historical landmark

    Borchs Gård

    Borchs Gård is a richly decorated Renaissance townhouse on Akseltorv in central Kolding, instantly recognisable by its deep-red timber framing and green-painted beams. Built in 1595 as the town’s pharmacy and later named after the influential merchant I.S. Borch, it stands today as one of Kolding’s most characterful historic facades. The house forms a striking backdrop to the main square, linking Kolding’s mercantile past with its present-day focus on design, architecture and urban life.

  91. Tourist attraction

    Forladt skorsten

    An evocative ruin standing alone on the outskirts of Ærøskøbing, this abandoned chimney is a poignant remnant of Denmark's industrial past. Once part of a brick factory that shaped the island's economy, the solitary structure now serves as a haunting monument to a vanished era. Its weathered red brick and stark silhouette against the Danish sky make it a compelling destination for those seeking to understand Ærø's heritage beyond its fairytale facades.

  92. Memorial park

    Mindesten for Rytterfægtningen ved Torsted

    Set back from busy Vejlevej on the southern edge of Horsens, the Mindesten for Rytterfægtningen ved Torsted is a modest memorial stone in a small green strip marking a dramatic cavalry skirmish from the Second Schleswig War. Erected in 1914 on the 50th anniversary of the battle, it commemorates a handful of Danish dragoons who faced Prussian hussars here in April 1864. Today the stone offers a quiet, reflective pause and a tangible link to Denmark’s turbulent 19th‑century history amid everyday suburban surroundings.

  93. Fountain

    Vandtrappen

    Vandtrappen in Rosengården, Slagelse is a contemporary ceramic water sculpture that brings movement and sound into a small urban square. This stepped fountain combines sculpted ceramic forms with gently cascading water, creating a calm pocket of atmosphere amid the town center. It is a compact, free-to-enjoy artwork that invites you to pause, watch the play of reflections, and experience a subtle intersection of art, design, and everyday public life.
