Stavreby: Coast, Village Street and Harbour

Stavreby between the coast and the village street

Stavreby lies on relatively low, flat ground along the coast. At the same time, the village is one of the best-preserved villages in Vordingborg Municipality. The houses and farms of Stavreby are primarily grouped around the village street, Stavreby Strandvej. In this way, the flat coastal setting combines with a clearly recognisable village structure. For visitors looking for established village landscapes alongside the water on the Baltic Sea, the appeal therefore lies in the combination of landscape and settlement structure. The street, houses and farms together shape the appearance of Stavreby.

Historic architectural styles and church history

Jungshoved Præstegaard is a former four-winged vicarage. The oldest half-timbered outbuildings date from 1791, while the newer residence was built from red bricks in 1896. Jungshoved Church is located near the shore of Stavreby Nor and close to the former site of Jungshoved Castle. Its oldest section was built between 1225 and 1250 in the Late Romanesque style. The different architectural forms mark various historical periods without the buildings merging into a single unified style. Travellers interested in village history, ecclesiastical architecture and former seats of power can take these themes into account when planning their trip.

The small harbour on the Bøgestrømmen

Stavreby Harbour is considered Denmark's smallest active fishing harbour. At the same time, Stavreby is one of the small harbours on the Bøgestrømmen where boats with a shallow draught can make a stopover. If your boat does not have too deep a draught, a visit to Stavreby's small harbour on the Bøgestrømmen can be a stopover where you can get close to local sailors and fishermen. The harbour shows Stavreby from its maritime side: small in scale, yet explicitly connected with an active fishing function. For active travellers on the water, the draught of their own boat is the decisive condition for this harbour stop. The maritime character therefore appeals to visitors who want to combine fishing, sailing and direct contact with a small harbour.

Farm, village and inland impressions

Muldiverset is located on an old farm in Stavreby. Together with the houses and farms along Stavreby Strandvej, this also means that a rural building stock forms part of the village landscape. In Stavreby, farm and village structures thus stand out alongside the coastal setting and harbour. Those moving between the coastal landscape and historic buildings therefore have several concrete starting points for planning their day, without having to reduce the village to a single experience.

Overnight stays with historic details

Jungshoved Præstegaard offers romantic overnight stays in rooms with historic details. The combination of accommodation and a historic building particularly appeals to travellers for whom architecture and atmosphere play an important role when choosing accommodation.
