Nakskov - Ostofte Church

 
From Rødby on Lolland take the E47 and after about 10 km/6 mi come to Maribo; in the south of the town the A9 goes off to the left to Nakskov. On this road the visitor will first come to Ostofte Church, a Romanesque brick building with a Gothic tower and porch, 15th C. vaulting in the nave and a transept of 1656. In the choir can be seen frescoes from ca. 1400 of scenes from the Old Testament, including the story of the Creation and the Expulsion from Paradise, as well as various dragons. Stokkemarke has a pleasing church with a massive tower.

In Halsted there is a 12th C. monastery which was later almost completely destroyed and was converted into a mansion in the 19th C. The park is open to the public.
