Stege By og Voldanlæg

Stege is Møn's only market town and contains one of Denmark's best-preserved medieval ramparts. The town's moat and earthworks are nearly intact — they survived because the expected urban development never took place. The Mill Gate (Mølleporten), a solid four-storey brick gate tower from the late 15th century built in monk brick with white chalkstone bands, is one of only two surviving medieval town gates in the whole country and is first mentioned in writing in 1531. The gate controlled access to the town's market square and trading life; at night it was closed to protect the citizens and their valuables. The Mill Gate and the ramparts have been restored with support from the A.P. Møller Foundation and Realdania and can be viewed freely. The town of Stege also offers a lively shopping street, cafés and restaurants, and the nearby Møn Museum (Empiregården) tells the cultural history of the town and the island.
