About Rudkøbing
Rudkøbing is the largest town on Langeland, whose name means long land, with about four and a half thousand people on the west coast. It has been a market town since 1287, with old cobbled streets and a well-preserved centre, a harbour from the 1820s, and the old pharmacy on Gåsetorvet where the Ørsted brothers were born. The sea is never more than 5 km away anywhere on the island. Our homes are spread over roughly seven kilometres, most sleeping six or more and nearly half taking eight or more, with a sauna in many and a fireplace in most. Beaches and Tranekær Castle are elsewhere on the island.
