Countryside

It is with great pleasure that we may show you the Danish idyl when we drive through our beautiful countryside. We have chosen to show you, among other places, Køge with the charming atmosphere which is special for Køge town square.
At Braunstein Brewery they will be ready for a tour which we have booked for you - afterwards we will begin our cruise via Vallø Castle, Bregentved Estate and Gisselfeld Monastery.

Køge was founded by royal order at the first place south of Copenhagen that had a natural harbour. The order was issued in the years prior to 1288, and placing the town also included the design of a town plan. This plan continues to provide the setting for the old town centre up to our days. Køge was granted a municipal charter in 1288.

Køge is one of the towns in Denmark that have the largest number of well preserved half timbered houses in its centre, including Denmark's oldest half timbered house from 1527, verified by a date inscription, and the oldest town hall still in use, dating from 1552.
