Rødeled Pottemageri

Rødeled is one of Denmark's oldest still-active pottery workshops, located about 1 km west of Præstø. The site was founded in 1898, when potter Hans Peter Knudsen moved his earthenware factory here, and for more than 100 years three generations of the Knudsen family ran the workshop with traditional Danish pottery craft — tulip jugs, postpartum pots, potato bowls and "Præstø bowls". After the family's time, the pottery passed to the Rødeled Foundation, and since 2019 ceramicist Klaus Kristensen has continued running the site as an open workshop with both traditional earthenware and modern stoneware. The listed building with its historic workshop is an experience in itself.
