Rodby Overview

Rodby is a town on the island of Lolland in Storstrom County in south Denmark.
Direct access to the Baltic Sea was the key factor behind the rise of one of Denmark’s southernmost townships.
Because the sea was the principal means of transport, the Baltic became a center for trade and a settlement on the Southeastern edge of Lolland was a natural development.
It also made sense to establish a town near the 13th century Aalholm Castle. The fortifications of this cstle provided much needed protection when the Vends from across the Baltic Sea went on a rampage and invaded.
The proximity to lovely woodlands is part of what makes Rodby such an attractive place to visit. From here, there is just a short distance to untamed nature with forests extending down to the Baltic Sea

Rodby Attractions

The most popular attraction in Rodby is Lalandia. It is a holiday paradise of 7,400 m2. Including a 28 degrees centrigrade tropical swimming area, with water chutes, bubblebath, sauna, and solariums. The Ravmuseet is a museum where visitors can see amber from all over the world in many different colours, as well as jewelery from the Stone Age and old amulets. The Polakkasernen tells the story about the Polish seasonal workers who came to Lolland-Falster, in large numbers in 1893 and in the years after that, to work in the sugar beet fields. The barracks contains a large collection of field tools, polish paper cuttings and a very comprehensive collection of Catholic pictures. Rodby Kirke (Church) was built between the years 1225 and 1300 and is situated on the highest place in the town. Originally it was built as an ordinary romanesque brick church, consisting of nave and choir and a somewhat later added porch. Mindestenen Rødby Fjord is a monument that weighs 23 tons. The monument was erected in memory of the hard work it was to dry-up the land.
