Discover Tåstrup: Farms, Cultural Landscape and History

Tåstrup is a small cluster of farms and has been designated as a cultural landscape area within the planning framework of Stevns Municipality. Anyone planning a trip involving historical discoveries and a manageable rural setting will find several different points of interest here: listed buildings, traces from the Viking Age, memories of the Second World War and a signposted cycling route.

Farm History in Tåstrup

At Druebjerggård, a brick-built manure building dating from around 1900 has been preserved. The building is listed and makes the agricultural history of the area visible through a specific structure. Another historical feature is Trines Hus, a listed farmhouse dating from 1775. It is named after its former owner, Trine.

One family has preserved Trines Hus in its original form for several generations. The house contains an authentic exhibition illustrating how ordinary people lived in the 19th century. In this way, Trines Hus complements the broader cultural landscape with a vivid insight into the everyday lives of past generations. For families who want to learn about history not only through dates, but also through rooms and preserved buildings, this creates a particularly tangible reason to visit.

From the Viking Age to 1944

Just outside Tåstrup, finely worked oak posts were found around 1990. They date from the Viking Age, approximately 1,000 years ago, and were probably used to build a bridge over a body of water. For visitors interested in history, the perspective therefore reaches back to the Viking Age.

Another historical connection lies near Tåstrup: On 11 April 1944, an American B-17 aircraft had to make an emergency landing 900 metres southwest of Myrekær farm. Together with the older traces and the farms in the area, this event shows that Tåstrup’s history spans very different eras.

A Cycling Tour as an Active Addition

The 25-kilometre “Elverhøj” cycling route passes through Tåstrup along Tåstrupvej. It can be included in the travel plans as a focus in its own right or combined with an interest in the cultural landscape. Anyone who prefers a longer cycle ride should take the full route into account when planning the day.

Which Accommodation Suits Your Travel Plans

When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home, you may want to include Tåstrup in your selection, especially if you would like to combine farm history, historical memorial sites and a cycling tour. For a more culture-focused stay, Trines Hus and the listed buildings provide the thematic focus. Those who want to make their trip more active can also consider the “Elverhøj” route. The opening arrangements for Trines Hus should be included in your planning: The house is open to tourists and other interested visitors from the Easter holidays until the autumn holidays, and otherwise by appointment.
