Kongegaarden

kongegaardenFurther down Algade, you will find “Konge-gaarden”, or The Great Hostelry as it is called in old documents. Built in 1761 and now a listed building, this is one of the most impressive attractions in Korsør. Pay special attention to the clock, the old sandstone ornaments which come from Basnæs Manor, and the interesting doorbell. The four sandstone figures from restoration work carried out in 1901 represent the four seasons: Spring Hope, Summer Joy, Autumn Melancholy and Winter Defiance; or Childhood, Youth, Manhood and Old Age.
