Sorø Essentials

Sorø is centered around the historic Sorø Academy and the 12th-century Cistercian Abbey Church, the burial site of King Valdemar IV and author Ludvig Holberg. The town's landscape is defined by Sorø Lake and the 15-hectare Academy Garden. Cultural highlights include the rare medieval round church at Bjernede, the twin-towered Fjenneslev Church, and the specialized Hauchs Physiske Cabinet, which houses one of Europe’s most significant collections of 18th-century scientific instruments.
