Maribo is an atmospheric cathedral city on Lolland, which grew from a Birgittine monastery founded in 1416 by King Eric of Pomerania under the Latin name Marienbo — Mary's town. Maribo Cathedral is the only Danish cathedral built as a convent church, constructed in Gothic brick style during the 1400s, with the unusual feature that its choir faces west rather than east — unlike every other Danish cathedral. When the Diocese of Lolland-Falster was established in 1803, the old convent church received cathedral status. The town itself lies beautifully between Søndersø and Nørresø, forming the extensive Naturpark Maribosøerne — an internationally recognised paradise for birds and a high-quality nature experience with hiking trails, shelters, and water sports.

One of Denmark's best-preserved ancient roads, located approximately 5 km north-west of Præstø. The almost 70-metre-long and 3.5-metre-wide paving was laid during the Late Roman Iron Age (300–400 AD) to make it possible to cross a wet ford over Hulebækken. On top of the Iron Age road lies a somewhat less carefully built medieval road. The road was discovered in 1949 during drainage work, excavated by the National Museum, and is today a listed ancient monument — cleared in 2009 so the stonework is again visible. A footpath leads the last approximately 260 metres out to the road.
