At Haslev Station, two specific starting points for your stay come together: train connections and the start of a cultural and historical circular route. The town also offers two electricity museums and the architectural history of Haslev Church; Haslev Folkeskov adds a different, landscape-focused dimension, with a network of paths planned. This allows you to consider Haslev based on your interest in travel, the history of technology and everyday life, or architecture.

Arrive by train and start at the station

From Haslev, train connections run towards Copenhagen via Køge to Nivå, as well as to Næstved. Before travelling, check the connection and departure time that suit your travel day. The cultural and historical circular route “Kulturhistorisk rundtur i Haslev som stationsby 1870-2020” begins at Haslev Station. The route’s title describes Haslev as a station town and includes 1870-2020 as part of its name. The station serves a dual purpose in your planning: it is a reference point for train connections and also the starting point of the circular route. If you arrive by train, you can begin your cultural visit at the same place.

Electricity museums: technology and everyday history

The SEAS-NVE Electricity Museum in Haslev preserves an extensive collection of objects, including kitchen appliances, radios, televisions, heating stoves and lamps that are over 100 years old. This selection brings the history of technology to life through concrete examples from everyday life, media, heating and lighting. The Andel Electricity Museum is located in the basement of the Andel buildings in Haslev. The two electricity museums give Haslev’s cultural offerings a technological dimension alongside the architectural history of Haslev Church. When planning your cultural activities, you can choose between a collection of historical appliances and a focus on church architecture.

Haslev Church and its architectural history

Haslev Church extends this cultural thread into architectural history. The church was first mentioned around 1370 in the land register of the Bishop of Roskilde. Under the direction of architect H. Lønborg-Jensen, a new cruciform church was built across the old church, turning the old church into side aisles. Side aisles are the lateral areas of a church interior; the new design incorporated the older section into the cruciform extension. On April 2, 1916, Haslev’s new church was inaugurated with 641 seats and the altar on the south side. The dates refer to different events: the mention is recorded around 1370, while 1916 marks the inauguration of the expanded church. This sequence makes the architectural history a concrete subject for travellers interested in architecture.

Haslev Folkeskov: a planned network of paths

A wide network of paths is planned for Haslev Folkeskov. It is intended to pass through different areas and plantings in the forest, offering a variety of experiences and impressions. This adds a landscape perspective to the area’s cultural points of interest. If the landscape matters to your choice of destination, you can consider Haslev Folkeskov as a planned attraction; keep its planning status in mind when choosing specific activities for your stay.
