EXPLORING DANISH HISTORY IN KØGE: Denmark Beyond Copenhagen
#Denmark #Danmark #Dansk
In this video, we take an exciting day trip from Copenhagen to the seaside town of Køge, Denmark. It’s our first video exploring Denmark beyond Copenhagen and we get to find out more about Danish history in this well-preserved town.
We take the train from Copenhagen and immediately notice Skt Nicolai Church, one of the oldest buildings in Køge dating back to 1250. Then we move on to Gamle Hus, the oldest residential home in Denmark. Next, we walk to Køge Torv, the largest market square outside of Copenhagen. There we explore the history of Denmark’s most famous witch trial, the Køge Huskors.
Then we check out some cool attractions in Køge, Denmark: the Køge Museum of Danish history, the KØS Museum of Public Art, and Køge mini by. We learn about the history of Denmark and how Koge has been at the center of much of it. Inside the Køge Museum, we find out more about the Dannebroge, a ship that exploded during one of the many Danish Swedish Wars.
We walk to Koge bay and recap more Danish history as we discuss the importance of the landscape on the growth of the city. The video ends along Koge harbor as we visit Braunstein Brewery.

Next time you are in Køge try Hugo's vinkælder - with 150 different beers it has one of Denmark's largest selection. It it self from 1968 is based in a basement from the middel age - built approx. a century before the new world was "discovered"

If you do , and you wish to visit a place where you Can meet and talk to some locals i could recommend you to check out a place named “INSP!” , derived from the Word Inspiration it stands for an Inspiratorium , it’s a place where local People Will meet and make dinners together , and just be and talk While it’s also a place that hosts a ton of culturel events and everyone is basically welcome to come and create Their own events or concepts for ideas and thats basicly what the inspiratorium means , but yea im just saying it because i genuinely Think it’s a really cool place and if you dont Think it’s worthwhile for a video you could always take a visit and probably find some inspiration from other People’s there No doubt though the festival is our most special occasions that you almost have to cover at some point , unfortunately canceled so far as im concerned this year but it’s probably one of our biggest cultural events in denmark besides the copenhagen jazz festival ofcourse :-p

You did visit most of the great spots but you missed one - Grundtvigs grav that is located 35 minutes on foot from the town square. It is situated on a small hill on Køge Ås and is a beautiful spot.

@@RobeTrotting exactly.. back then building was meant to last, and that means there are certain things to be careful about when preparing wood and cutting with the grain, so that is also why much of the technology for building ships were adopted in building technology inland too. The shortage of building wood actually forced us to look for the more modern way of providing safe living conditions.

One of the things I always find so interesting when people move abroad, is how they end up knowing more about the local history than many residents. I had the same experience when I lived in the US, it felt like I was the guy who was interested in US history, and most around me thought I was a history geek because I had spent time learning about the US history in pretty great detail lol. I especially remember taking a road trip with some friends from San Fran to Houston where I ended up being the tour guide for my friends and about 15 other people, when we visited the Apache Death Cave in Winslow AZ.

@brittabrandtoft110 3 года назад

You should visit the west coast. There are so many exciting local stories about what has happened over time. In Vestervig on Thy is Northern Europe's largest village church. A few km away, Agger has an exciting story about how it came to be. A little further north, the fishing boats dock on the beach. There's Cold Hawaii, and World War II Bunkers Museum. And that's just a little bit of what's along the coast at Thy.

@annemettefrederiksen7751 Год назад

Fun fact, if you ever find yourself slightly lost in an old danish town like Køge or Næstved or smiler place of age, try to locate the church ..Usually its one of the eldest buildings in a town and because it was a powerhub back then, the town would usually spring up around it making it the somewhat center in many towns and thus always possible to get an idea of the right direction or place to start from again..Still use it sometimes if Google isnt cooperative..Goes for alot of places in Europe..

@MrLarsgren 3 года назад

you should visit the frigat jutland. The frigate "Jylland" is a unique ship,- being the longest wooden ship in the world today. Also it is the Royal Danish Navy's last big warship built from wood, and having a traditional sailing ship rigging as well as a steam engine, it is a perfect representative for the transition from sail to steam power. It took part in the battle of Helgoland in 1864, which was the first naval battle in history where two fleets engaged each other without the use of sails, but only used their steam engines during the entire battle. The ship is now beautifully restored and on permanent display at the picturesque small town of Ebeltoft situated on the peninsula of Jylland, which also gave name to the ship when she was launched from the Naval Yard in Copenhagen in 1860. The ship is a major tourist attraction and well worth a visit.

You should come to the Viking Village (Note, it is very small, and the ''long house'' is not that long, but there is an area where there's marked with some round wooden beams where an old farm house in the shape of a long house once was) in Albertslund (Risby) If you got a car that would be the easiest, otherwise you could ride bike from Albertslund train station (~5.4km each way) or take the bus from the station that will take you into Risby. There was resently built a replica of a Viking bridge that was in Jutland that was originally hundreds metres long, it's built like it would've been then with special made tools that is forge on Samsø (Landvirke blacksmith) the tools are replica axes etc from the era. There's also Kroppedal museum nearby and Risby studierne (part of Nordisk Film) Maybe you should visit Nordisk Film in Valby and share the story of Olsenbanden :-)

You can actually dive on Dannebroge, it's on only 12-14m of water, if you get a permission. Very interesting site, though Roskilde Museum has removed most artifacts.

You should have mentioned that you'll be in Køge! You could have had some austrian cake 😉 (and get a lesson om how to pronounce Køge 😂) I moved to Køge two years ago after living in Copenhagen for two and a half years. It's so different and so cute! Reminds me a bit of the small town I grew up in in Austria ☺️ Especially during the last year I have been happy to not live in Copenhagen anymore! 😂

@RobeTrotting 3 года назад

I think we pronounce it 15 different ways in the video (and none of them are right 😂). And that would have been amazing! The cakes in Denmark are good because they learned from the Austrians 😋

Køge Bugt is the place, where naval history goes to take a shit. Battle against the Swedes, battle against the English, Peter Madsen and his submarine....

Really appreciate the effort, but I'm afraid Køge is still kiiiinda just "Kbh. Light". You need to travel further away, to experience a completely different culture/mindset/cuisine/accent, going back centuries. Primarily Jylland ofc (where the aforementioned aspects will change from part to part), but also Fyn has its own ways =)
