Præstø

Denmark

A small harbour town on the southern Zealand coast, Præstø sits at the head of its own fjord with a café and restaurant scene in its compact centre. The town holds merchant borough status dating to the 14th century, and its church — a two-nave building that was once part of an Antonite monastery — is among the older structures in the area. The surrounding fjord is a designated wildlife reserve.
