Christiansborg Slotskirke
Tragedy struck CF Hansen’s austere, 19th-century neoclassical church on the day of the 1992 Copenhagen Carnival. A stray firework hit the scaffolding that had surrounded the church during a lengthy restoration and set the roof ablaze, destroying the dome. Miraculously, a remarkable

Superkilen
A collaboration between local architecture studio BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group), Berlin-based landscape architects Topotek1 and Danish art group Superflex, Superkilen is more than just a kilometre-long park - its a hyper-playful ode to the areas multicultural fabric. Divided into three

Marstal
On the southeastern end of the island, Marstal is Ærøs most modern-looking town and has a web of busy shopping streets at its centre. Marstal has an emphatically maritime history; even its street names echo the names of ships and famous sailors. The towns Søfartsmuseum has an absor

Hammerichs Hus
Our favourite of Ærøskøbing’s museums, half-timbered Hammerichs Hus is the most gnarled, creaky hobbit-hole of a home imaginable (mind your head). Its snug interior is full of antiques collected by sculptor Gunnar Hammerich: most impressive are the walls, lined with around 3000 bea

Vikingemuseet Ladby
Denmark’s only Viking Age ship grave, also known as Ladbyskibet, is a captivating site. At the time of writing, it was being beefed up by Vikingemuseet Ladby , a new museum that will display finds from the grave, currently held in the National Museum in Copenhagen. It will no doubt

Stege Kirke
It looks as though a demented nine-year-old has been let loose inside Stege Kirke, built in the 13th century by one of the powerful Hvide family. The interior is covered in endearingly naive 14th- and 15th-century frescoes in red and black paint: monkey-like faces sprout from branc

Himmelbjerget
The Lake Districts most visited spot is the whimsically named Himmelbjerget (Sky Mountain), which, at just 147m, is one of Denmarks highest hills. It was formed by water erosion during the final Ice Age as a false hill or kol, the sides of which are quite steep. There are a number

Børsen
Not many stock exchanges are topped by a 56m-tall spire formed from the entwined tails of four dragons. Børsen is one. Constructed at the eastern corner of Slotholmen in the early 17th century, its elegant Dutch Renaissance design features richly embellished gables and an eye-catch
