At the historic Bandholm Badehotel, your visit will be memorable.
Here is a touch of sunshine, waves and luxurious cosiness. This is exactly what characterizes the danish tradition of staying in a seaside hotel.
Your meal is made with sustainable ingredients from the South Sea Islands, the Småland Sea offers a refreshing dip from Denmark's oldest bathing establishment, and late in the evening the Lolland starry sky makes sure to lull you to sleep as guests have been here for the past 330 years.
At Bandholm Harbor there was originally a royally privileged inn which already in 1692 welcomed merchants when the journey went through the Lolland water and land. Now stands the beautiful, white bathing hotel, which in 1886 replaced the aging inn and which today welcomes guests.
Bandholm Badehotel gives you peace for contemplation, presence and beautiful surroundings. Explore the beautiful rooms which are over 300 years old, but newly renovated with an eye for detail as well as tasteful and comfortable decor. Take a dip in the Småland Sea from Denmark's oldest bathing establishment and get the warmth immediately afterwards in our beach sauna. Our backyard is the country's most beautiful safari park, and the neighbor is the golf course. Let Lolland entice and enjoy the beautiful landscape on foot, by bike or by car.
Bandholm Badehotel is Lolland's gastronomic gem. The head chef has worked at the best Danish Michelin restaurants and with his own touch, he combines the best of the Michelin restaurants with his local knowledge of the area. The ingredients on Lolland-Falster are of incredibly high quality, and with it as a base, the kitchen puts together completely unique taste experiences. The ingredients will be from local suppliers: Herbs from Den Grønne Verden in Søllested, eggs and chickens from Bakkedal Gård, freshly caught fish from Langø and organic flour from Lammehaven. As a guest of the restaurant, you will be able to look forward to putting the fork in a 4- or 7-course menu that is crunchy with freshness.

Travel back millions of years in time in the Dinosaur Forest, where you can meet some of the largest animals that have ever roamed the planet. Laugh and learn as the giants of the past emerge from the primeval forest.

Askø Museum is a small island museum focusing on local history from the two small connected islands Askø and Lilleø. The museum is located as part of the vicarage and primarily contains a physical collection of working and agricultural tools from around 1850-1950.
Agriculture and fishing were the main source of income at the time, but the repeated storm floods made it a harsh and impoverished existence.
The museum's website also contains a wide range of digital writings and photos from the history of the islands.
It's possible to visit the museum outside of normal opening hours by prior arrangement. The museum's opening hours can be found on the website.

Come along on an exciting journey back to the Lolland Stone Age! Discover rare and unique finds in a gorgeous and innovative scenography that offers great experiences and immersion. Follow in the footsteps of Lola – a girl from the Stone Age – through 500 years of history: from the last of the hunter-gatherers to the first farmers who lived on the southern coast of Lolland 5,000 years ago.
A small lump of pitch with a big story! The very special thing about this lump is that for the first time, a complete picture of a human’s DNA has been extracted from something other than bones or teeth. It has brought us very close to a Stone Age person: a girl, Lola, who lived on the south coast of Lolland about 5,700 years ago.
Museum Lolland-Falster also has a superb collection of crucifixes from the Middle Ages. See them up close and learn more about medieval religious beliefs in the exhibition ‘OMG’. The crucifixes are very dramatic and depict the suffering of Christ on the cross.
Please note that Museum Lolland-Falster’s exhibition venues offer limited accessibility for people with disabilities.

Kaj Munk was born in Maribo in 1898. He lost both his parents at an early age, was taken into foster care, and later adopted by his mother’s childless cousin Marie Munk and her husband Peter Munk.
Munk’s parents’ grave, with a tombstone shaped like an oak stump, can be found in Maribo Cemetery (plot no. 1168).
In Opager near Vejleby, a memorial stone commemorates Kaj Munk’s childhood home. Today, the stone stands near a new house that has the same location as Kaj Munk’s childhood home (Kaj Munks Vej 11, 4920 Søllested).
In Maribo, a memorial plaque can be found on the property located at the site where Kaj Munk was born (Torvet 11). This was Garvergården where Kaj Munk’s biological parents lived. A memorial plaque can also be found on the property where Kaj Munk went to school (Kaj Munks Gade 6).
The square in Maribo is home to a life-size statue of Kaj Munk (Torvet 1).
Munk was highly conflicted about the choice between working as a pastor or a poet. However, he completed his theological degree in 1924 and was pastor of Vedersø parish in Jutland until his death in 1944.
He wrote countless poems, plays, travelogues and newspaper articles, and depicts his great love for the island where he was born in the poem ‘The Blue Anemone’.
Kaj Munk was extremely active in the social debate of his time. He was an outspoken critic of the German occupation, both in the social debate and in his literary work. On 4th January 1944, he was executed by the German occupying forces.

The church was originally built in the 15th century as part of a double monastery – situated between two sections: a nunnery and a monastery.
When Maribo’s old village church burned down in 1596, the abbey church became the town’s new church. In 1803, its status changed from church to cathedral.
The church has undergone a number of renovations over the years. In the 1890s, however, the cathedral was restored to its original appearance, and today it is a representation of how it may have looked during the Middle Ages.
Today, the original ruins of the nuns’ cloister can be seen outside the cathedral. A paving stone indicates where the walls from the old cloister were located.
Visit the Cathedral
The cathedral is open to visitors from 9:00 – 17:00 every day.
Guided tours for groups can be arranged by contacting the church office.
Leonora Christina
King Christian IV’s daughter Leonora Christina lived at Maribo Abbey from 1685 to 1698.
She was buried in the church, but shortly after the burial, her body was removed.
Leonora Christina’s tombstone and the crypt containing her coffin can still be seen in Maribo Cathedral.
A memorial stone for Leonora Christina can also be found by the west gable of the cathedral.

The Maribo Lakes make up one of Denmark’s largest freshwater systems with a total of 1,140 hectares of water surface.
The largest of the lakes – and the 8th largest in Denmark – is the 852-hectare Maribo Søndersø. It consists of three basins, and with its 13 regular islands, 6 islets and 3 marshy islands, it is easily the most island-dotted lake in Denmark. Røgbølle Sø covers 200 hectares, Hejrede Sø 50 hectares, and Nørresø 40 hectares.
There is public access to the islands Hestø, Fruerø and Præstø. The other islands are privately owned by the Engestofte and Søholt estates. The largest of the islands is the 17-hectare Borgø, which is the only island in Søndersø to have been inhabited in recent times. Many of the smaller islands are very important bird nesting sites.
The Maribo Lakes Nature Park is situated in a magnificent manorial landscape and surrounded by fields, meadows, bogs and woodlands. The opportunity for great experiences awaits all those with an interest in birds and nature.
The many routes around the lakes invite you to explore nature both on land and by water – on a bike, in a kayak or on the Anemonen tour boat (from May to September).

Of the 30 or so similar Polish barracks built on Lolland and Falster, this is the best preserved. The buildings were called barracks because they housed a large number of labourers and were often located far from other settlements.
The museum houses a large collection of field tools, paper cuttings from the beet girls and a very extensive collection of Catholic photographs. The objects on display were primarily donated by Polish descendants, as many of the seasonal labourers ended up staying and settling permanently, especially on Lolland. Many of the Polish place names and surnames bear witness to this.
The Polish barracks in Tågerup near Rødby, which is a listed building, was designed by architect H.C. Glahn, Nykøbing Falster, Denmark. Glahn, Nykøbing Falster for the neighbouring Lungholm estate, and the museum is the only one of its kind in Europe.
The museum has received the prestigious Polish international award "Witnesses of History" and is supported by the Polish Ministry of Culture, the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Polish Embassy in Denmark.
