It's essentially the center of northern Langeland, and has been for over 150 years. While the town and harbor are relatively small, there's still plenty going on here. A fair number of boats are moored at the piers. In the harbor office, there are music evenings and a market in the summer (Tuesdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.). In the immediate vicinity, there are several restaurants, all of which—as far as we've tried so far—are very good. A collection of rides and playgrounds offers fun for the little ones. The short promenade and the harbor area are paved with easy-to-drive asphalt.

Tranekær Castle was originally a heavily fortified castle with a moat and drawbridge. Its origins date back to the 13th century. The castle grounds are worth a visit. There you'll also find many works of art that are in decline. This was intentional.

Tranekær Castle is Denmark's oldest inhabited house and stands out with its location and beautiful red color against the beautiful landscape. Originally built as a strongly fortified castle with a moat and drawbridge, the castle has an extremely favorable location. Secluded and built on a 20-meter high shore, one could previously sail to the foot of the castle from both the east and west sides of Langeland. When traveling on Langeland, one had to pass by the castle. The castle is located on one of the island's many "hat hills." In this way, the terrain provided the castle's inhabitants with considerable protection from the outset. Through the construction of moats and a ring wall, the castle gradually became an almost impregnable fortress. Tranekær Castle is inhabited by the Ahlefeldt-Laurvig family and is today a modern agricultural and forestry operation with an area of 1,733 hectares. The main building and the castle shore are not accessible to the public, but outside the moats, you can walk along a beautiful path where you can see unique trees in the park, including the rare Chinese conifer, the Dawn Redwood. Access to the castle is possible as part of a guided tour, during which the history of the castle and the family is told with wonderful anecdotes. https://www.govisitlangeland.de/langeland/planen-sie-ihre-reise/tranekaer-slot-gdk612254

Small, whitewashed brick church. The oldest building dates from around 1220, otherwise late Gothic. Renovated between 1830 and 1831. The frescoes in the church date from the 16th century, some of which were repainted throughout.
