Maribo
Maribo enjoys a beautiful setting by Sønder Lake in the heart of Lolland. The town grew in the 15th C. around Maribo Abbey, which was endowed by Queen Margarethe in 1408. All that remains of the abbey are some ruins in a garden to the north of the church, from where there is a beautiful view of the lake.
