Store Magleby has a unique and different history. In the 1500s the village was colonized by Dutch farmers who for 300 years lived here with their special language, special rules of law, and customs and traditions that differed markedly from other Danish villages.
Back in history, Dragør Old Town and Harbor has been one of the most important maritime cities in Denmark. Both in the latter half of the 18th century and again in the late 1800s, where the vast majority of the houses in the Old Town were also built.
