Sights & Activities
For a dose of vintage charm, slip into
Søgade
, a street that's lined with leaning half-
timbered, mustard-yellow houses with red tiled roofs. You'll find it on the west side of the
town's main square, Torvet.
Sorø Kirke
CHURCH
Denmark's largest monastery church, and one of the country's oldest brick buildings, is the
12th-century Sorø Kirke, set snugly on the grounds of the Sorø Academy. The
Romanesque interior is simple and harmonious, brightened by
medieval frescoes
of blue,
red, orange, green and white geometric patterns, shields and leaves, and lightened by a
high 13th-century Gothic ceiling.
Interred in a prime position directly behind the main altar is Bishop Absalon, a member
of the influential Hvide family and one of Denmark's most significant medieval statesmen.
