Præstø

This workshop and museum is the oldest pottery in Denmark.

Nysø is a beautiful old mansion from 1673, built as one of the first baroque buildings in the country by a local merchant. Thorvaldsen's small white atalier (see below) is still found in the park. Entrance to the building is summer only, and only to the museum wing.

One of Denmark's few blockbuster artists; sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844) spent his final years here, and had an atelier provided by the baron and baroness. The collection, which is housed in one of the wings, includes many works from his time on Nysø Manor.

Museum and cultural centre. Exhibition of naturalistic landscape painting of the surrounding countryside by Ole Ring (1902-1972). Courtyard cafe that hosts concerts on summer Sundays.

The local activity centre with theatre, temporary exhibits, concerts, cinema and a café

Canoe and kayak rental

Horse-riding with Icelandic horses also have an activity centre with peashooter and air-rifle shooting, archery and paint ball.

Although the park is not big, it is quite interesting and you easily spend half a day there. They have labyrinths and large puzzles outside and a room inside with smaller puzzles and mind games. They sell sandwiches and ice cream, but also have a picnic area if you want to bring your own food.
