Døllefjelde, village 9 km southeast of Sakskøbing. St. Kjeld's Chapel was built in 1266 as a small pilgrimage church near St. Kjeld's Source (a well is located northeast of the rectory). The popularity of the Holy Source led to the expansion of the chapel in the 1300s and 1400s, and it now appears as Døllefjelde Church. Every year, a large spring market was held on Mikkelsdag, 29 September. Since 1980, the tradition has been revived with the Døllefjelde-Musse Creamer market during the big-day holiday.

A beautiful whitewashed village church built around 1100. Døllefjelde church choir is the ship in an older Romanesque church. The original church has been rather small and thus not turned on. In the 14th century, the new ship was built and a little later the tower. Ifm. a restoration in 1694, a sacristy on the south side of the choir was broken down. The same applies to the porch, which was previously located at the ship's north side. In the course of the years, it was repeatedly complained of its fallacy, and in 1855—56 it was demolished, while the entrance of the church was abandoned to the tower, where there had so far been a material house. After belonging to the county of Knuthenborg since 1714, the church passed to self-ownership on July 1, 1911

Linderhof Palace

Linderhof is the smallest of the three palaces built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria and the only one which he lived to see completed.

Ludwig II, who was crowned king in 1864, began his building activities in 1867-1868 by redesigning his rooms in the Munich Residenz and laying the foundation stone of Neuschwanstein Castle. In 1868 he was already making his first plans for Linderhof. However, neither the palace modelled on Versailles that was to be sited on the floor of the valley nor the large Byzantine palace envisaged by Ludwig II were ever built.

Instead, the new building developed around the forester's house belonging to his father Maximilian II, which was located in the open space in front of the present palace and was used by the king when crown prince on hunting expeditions with his father.
