Editing Møn (section)

==Attractions==
Møn is known for its natural environment, sandy beaches, [[fresco]]-decorated churches, [[Stone Age]] and [[Bronze Age]] [[passage grave]]s and [[dolmen|monuments]], and [[Møns Klint]] ("The White Cliffs of Møn"), the island's most popular attraction.

The cliffs, c. 6&nbsp;km long and up to 128 metres tall, are Denmark's highest, and support a unique set of natural habitats. Access to the narrow beach is via a flight of 500 steps from the parking area set within the beech forest behind the cliffs. The [[GeoCenter Møns Klint]], a geological museum tracing the origins of Denmark and the formation of the cliffs opened there in May 2007. The combination of [[chalk]] in the [[soil|subsoil]] with a dry local climate, and its agricultural use consisting primarily of cattle grazing, has created some of Denmark's richest meadowlands. The chalk was transported to Møn during the fourth, and [[Last glacial period|most recent, major ice age]].

Another attraction close to the cliffs is [[Liselund]], the romantic summer residence erected in the 1790s by French nobleman [[Antoine de Bosc de la Calmette]] for his wife, Lise. The miniature thatched palace and grounds were designed by [[Andreas Kirkerup]], one of the foremost landscape architects of the times. A larger house was constructed in the park in 1887 by Baron Fritz Rosenkrantz, which is now a hotel. The park is open to the public and includes the original thatched manor house, Swiss cottage, Chinese tea house and Norwegian log cabin. Calmette was also responsible for the park at Marienborg, to the west of Stege.

At the north-western corner of Møn is a narrow bridge to the island of [[Nyord]]. The small village on the island has a number of quaint cottages and farmhouses as well as a unique octagonal church and a small harbour. Nyord is an important habitat for geese, ducks and other wading birds. There is a bird-watching tower for the use of visitors.

The islands of Møn and Nyord were designated a [[Dark-sky preserve|Dark Sky Park]] in 2017 by [[International Dark-Sky Association|The International Dark Sky Association]], as the first place in Scandinavia. The [[Dark Sky Park Møn & Nyord]] has become a popular attraction for European and domestic tourists looking to escape the ever increasing [[light pollution]] in urban areas. Authorised tour guides help visitors enjoy the night sky and the nocturnal environment.

At the south-western corner, Møn connects by causeway to the 5 by 7&nbsp;km island of Bogø. The island has a preserved windmill, an old boarding school and a summer ferry to [[Stubbekøbing]].

Møn has a number of interesting churches decorated with [[Church frescos in Denmark|frescos]]. [[Fanefjord Church]] dates back to the 13th century, and has a set of recently restored frescos painted in 1450 by the [[Elmelunde Master]]. Frescos can also be seen in Elmelunde Church, the oldest church on the island, with parts dating from the start of the 12th century. [[Keldby Church]] has a unique altarpiece and is also richly decorated with frescos. Another interesting church is the one at [[Damsholte Church|Damsholte]]. It is one of the finest [[Rococo]] buildings in Denmark and the only village church built in the Rococo style.

The oldest and perhaps most impressive burial mound on Møn is [[Grønsalen]] near [[Fanefjord Church]]. The 100 m by 10 m barrow is from around 3500 BC. According to legend, it is the resting place of Chief [[Grønjæger]] (Greenranger) and his wife Queen Fane, after whom Grønsund and Fanefjord were named. There are also barrows at Raaby and Busemarke. There is also a 5,000-year-old round burial barrow at Sømarke, and others at Jættestue and Jordehøj. Kong Asgers Høj at Sprove is the largest gallery grave in Denmark, more than 4,000 years old. It has been fully excavated and can be visited inside. There is another round barrow at nearby Rundysse, and a further recently restored 9 metre long double passage gallery grave at [[Klekkende Høj]] from the Neolithic age c. 4,500 years old.

[[Thorsvang, Danmarks Samlermuseum]] is a museum of [[collectables]] arranged in a number of old shops typical of the early 20th century. It is located in the Lendemarke district of Stege.<ref name=pm>[http://www.tv2east.dk/artikler/danmarks-samlermuseum-aabnede-paa-moen Phillippa Maigaard, "Danmarks Samlermuseum åbnede på Møn"], ''tv2 øst''. {{in lang|da}} Retrieved 19 July 2013.</ref>

There is a jewellery museum in the little village of Damme and near Keldbylille, there is a museum (Museumsgaarden) depicting life on a Møn farm as it was 100 years ago. There are also several art galleries and arts and crafts centres on the island.

Møn also has a number of popular beach resorts, particularly in East Møn with [[Ulvshale]] to the north and [[Råbylille Strand]], [[Klintholm Havn]] and [[Hårbølle]] on the south side of the island.
