Kulturmiljø in Denmark

Svaneke is Denmark's easternmost town and one of its smallest chartered market towns, with origins dating to the 12th-13th century herring fishery. It received market town status by the early 16th century. The harbour was blasted out of rock in 1816 with two basins for fishing and trade. In 2013 Svaneke was named Denmark's most beautiful market town, known for its red-roofed half-timbered houses, artisan traditions in glassblowing and ceramics, and its record hours of sunshine.
