Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Time-travel to the days of damsels and knights at this recreated early-15th-century medi-
eval village - great fun, especially if you have kids. The site includes four brutal-looking
siege engines (fired off at noon), a merchant's house with its own harbour and boats, a
marketplace surrounded by craft workshops, and a playground complete with medieval-in-
spired play equipment. Try to visit during the knights' tournaments, which occur at
1.45pm daily from late June to mid-August (1.30pm Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Saturday and Sunday outside those months).
The Medieval Centre is on the outskirts of Nykøbing F, across the bridge on Lolland.
Bus 702 runs from Nykøbing F train station roughly half-hourly on weekdays and hourly
on weekends.
