Stege is an example of a classic Danish market town. It nestles around an elongated square that has roads leading into the countryside. The houses front onto the street and have long gardens behind, and a church dominates the street scene. The old market-town atmosphere still charms visitors with its well-preserved merchant's houses, town gate, town hall, pharmacy and other buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries. The town has experienced greatness: First as the centre of the herring fishing industry from the 13th century until the end of the Middle Ages. And second, when the merchant's houses from the end of the 18th century exported large amounts of grain from Møn.
