Marstal

At the eastern end of the island of Ærø lies the little fishing port of Marstal, which was one of the most important ports in Denmark in years gone by. Model ships can be seen hanging in the medieval church, which also has some beautiful wall-paintings, including a portrait of a bishop. The gallery of the church was once known as the "Captain's Bridge", because ships' captains used to sit up there.

Visitors should note the Romanesque font, which was originally in the church at Tranderup.
