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

Château de Chantilly

The Château de Chantilly comprises two attached buildings: the Petit Château built around 1560 for Anne de Montmorency, and the Grand Château, which was destroyed during the French Revolution and rebuilt in the 1870s. Owned by the Institut de France, the château houses the Musée Condé. It is one of the finest art galleries in France and is open to the public.

The estate"s connection with the Montmorency family began in 1484. The first mansion (now replaced by the Grand Château) was built in 1528–1531 for the Constable Anne de Montmorency by Pierre Chambiges. The Petit Château was also built for him, around 1560, probably by Jean Bullant. In 1632, after the death of Henri II, it passed to the Grand Condé who inherited it through his mother, Charlotte Marguerite de Montmorency.

Several interesting pieces of history are associated with the château during the 17th century.
