There is so much to see on this Danish island.
Møn is known for its natural beauty, good beaches, fresco-decorated churches, Stone Age and Bronze Age passage graves and monuments, and Møns Klint ("The White Cliffs of Møn"), the island's most popular attraction.
Møn has a number of interesting churches decorated with frescos. Fanefjord Church dates back to the 13th century, and has a set of famous frescoes painted in 1450 by the Elmelunde Master. Elmelunde Church is the oldest church on Møn, with parts dating from the start of the 12th century. Keldby Church has a unique altarpiece and is richly decorated with frescos.
About Liselund I found this:
Liselund lies in a fairytale setting near Møns Klint in the northeast corner of the island Møn.
This beautiful, romantic place - with a tiny thatched castle, a Chinese teahouse, a Norwegian log cabin, and situated among lakes, streams and memorial stones - was a wonderful gift of love from a husband to his wife.

Oh I wish I had seen this fascinating place when we visited Denmark many years ago. The murals look amazing.

Another beautiful place. I do enjoy your posts.
Beautiful island, wonderful churches. I always learn so much when I come to your posts, Reader, and truly appreciate it. Thank you for sharing..
You have captured many of the glories of Denmark. It is a nice country to visit, both for longer and shorter stays - and you found one of the few places where I think I haven't been :-)
Thank you for sharing!
your slide shows are very interesting and unique, Wil.. its a pleasure to drop by each Tuesday/Wednesday :)
My entries at the ABC M is Morning Mist. Do visit if you can :)
This was a neat post of nostalgia, Wil! What great memories!
Nice slide show again this week. Thanks for sharing some of the interesting places you visited.
A beautiful harbor and fantastic murals - I love this artwork!
Fascinating stuff. Don't know anything about the country outside of the large cities.

Did you go camping every summer? I love beds and don't like camping.
Prachtige plaats die je ons hier weer laat zien
it's always refreshing to see freschos on walls in places we visit.
Though i also like the modern equvelant.

I can see why you kept going back there.
Love those churches. And I can't believe you just FOUND all those lovely fossils on the beach!
It was very touching to suddenly see one slide in the middle titled "My husband."
Vous aussi, vous montrez un très beau village!
les fresques sont magnifiques!
Le terrain de camping semble très naturel:est-ce une aire de repos , comme il en existe dans les Landes?
Le site de la plage est enchanteur.
Lovely place, and stunning frescoes!!
Kisses, sweetie! :)
Beautiful pictures of a lovely place. I'll put this island on my list for the next time I take a trip to Denmark!
Thanks for sharing!
Best wishes,
Anna
