Cannons and church

Agersø Mill is a Dutch mill from 1892 that was in operation until 1959, before it was handed over to Danske Møllers Venner and later became Agersø Møllelaug & Museumsforening.

The mill has been restored and the mill blades are running whenever possible, and volunteers keep the mill open on weekends during the school summer vacation. Agersø Mill towers beautifully with a view of Agersø Harbor.

During the wars with England in the early 1800s constructed King Frederik the 6th built a series of batteries and entrenchments to defend Zealand. One of them was built on Agersø i 1808 to defend the Omø Sound.

Today, the cannons on Agersø Skanse still point towards the water, and you can almost sense the dense wartime atmosphere from back then when you visit the area.

If you're up for a walk, you can visit Helleholm Lighthouse, which rises 12 meters into the air. The first lighthouse was established in 1846 while the current lighthouse was built in 1900 and is still in operation.

On the way out to Helleholm Lighthouse there is ample opportunity to enjoy Agersøs nature, which offers both rich birdlife and good fishing spots.

At the the cozy Agersø Harbor you can visit Agersø Smokehouse, where everything from fish and meat to potatoes and cheese is regularly smoked. If the former smithy's three large brick smoke ovens are not in use, you can still help yourself to the smoked delicacies from  the refrigerated display case at Ankerpladsen.

Agersø Church is a relatively new one of its kind. It was built in 1872 and is made of red stone. The church was designed by architect I. D. Herhold, who also designed the Grundtvigskirken (Grundtvigs Church) in Copenhagen.

The church is open every day from sunrise to sunset and is definitely worth a visit, it is beautiful, bright and spartanly decorated.
