Søby Harbor

Highlight • Structure

A small, manageable as well as dreamy place, the main point of reference next to the mill and the church is probably the port.

Bregninge Church is a beautiful building. The original Romanesque church dates back to the 13th century and today the building is a fine sight on Ærø. The impressive main spire is covered in oak shingles, while the church is also renowned for its 16th-century frescoes.

Fishing Huts on the Coast

Highlight • Structure

Idyllic short round along the coast and then back through meadow paths. Good for bird watching.

Søby Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Søby Church dates from 1745.
In 1870 Professor Jørgen Roed painted the altarpiece showing Christ on the cross and the Virgin Mary kneeling next to it. The Pietà painting (Virgin Mary with the corpse of Jesus) was painted by Magdalene Hammerich in 1917 and donated by her brother, the sculptor Gunnar Hammerich, in connection with the main restoration of the church in 1978.
