Things to do in Møn

  1. Fanefjord Kirke

    A fascinating Møn church, 13th-century Fanefjord Kirke is adorned with superb frescoes. The oldest, from 1350, depicts St Christopher carrying Christ across a ford, but most of the vaults are covered with a cartoon-like ‘paupers’ Bible’ by the ‘Elmelunde master’. Unique images include a gruesome one of Judas, with two devils pulling out his soul; Mary on doomsday, tipping the judgement scales in humanity’s favour; and a gleeful horny-kneed demon listening to two women gossiping! You can see the master’s signature (which resembles a stick man with rabbit ears) on an altar-facing rib in the northeastern vault.

  2. Lolles Gård

    Lolles Gård, in Nyord, has a traditional all-blue dining room and an air of old-fashioned civility. Its speciality dish is fried eels with new potatoes and parsley sauce (150kr), with salads, omelettes and other light meals also on the menu. Coffee is served in proper coffee pots, large enough to keep you jittery for days.

  3. Kong Asgers Høj

    Kong Asgers Høj is northwest of Røddinge, just by the roadside – there’s nowhere to park. This is Denmark’s largest passage grave, with a burial chamber 10m long and more than 2m wide. Bring a torch (flashlight) and watch your head.
