In-Depth Information
It looks as though a demented nine-year-old has been let loose inside Stege Kirke, built in
the 13th century by a member of the powerful Hvide family. The interior is covered in en-
dearingly naive 14th- and 15th-century frescoes in red and black paint: monkey-like faces
sprout from branches, a hunter chases unidentifiable animals, and a sorrowful man is
covered in big blobs…measles? The church has a splendidly carved pulpit dating from
1630.
Empiregården
MUSEUM
Part of Møn Museum, Empiregården covers local cultural history. Archaeological finds
from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages include ancient skeletons, jewellery and the
world's oldest chewing gum, dating back 11,000 years to a settlement north of Vording-
borg. Also on display are 19th-century house interiors, toys, coins and pottery.
Mølleporten
HISTORIC BUILDING
Of the three medieval gates that once allowed entry into the town, Mølleporten (Mill Gate)
on Storegade is the only one still standing. It's one of the best-preserved town gates in
Denmark.
