The monument "Battle in Køge Bay", which will be found near Koge harbor, is of considerable interest. This 9m/30ft high granite obelisk bears the name of the maritime heroes Niels Juel and Ivar Huitfeldt. Juel led the Danes to a decisive victory over the Swedes in 1677 and Huitfeldt commanded the ship "Danebrog" which caught fire when bombarded in 1710; he continued to fight on until the ship finally exploded.
