Nyby was originally built as a kind of Nyboder for Bogø’s seafaring population. As a smaller, newer part of the large village on Bogø, it is located near the harbour. The history of the settlement and the island’s maritime character meet here.
There are different ways to focus your stay: explore the architectural and maritime history of Nyby and Bogø By, or enjoy walks and coastal activities in the surrounding area. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can choose Nyby based on which of these aspects you want to make the focus of your trip.
Nyby and Bogø’s Maritime History
The original idea of building Nyby as a kind of Nyboder for Bogø’s seafaring population gives the place a special historical connection. The buildings also tell the story of its maritime past: Bogø By and Nyby have captains’ villas and smaller seafarers’ houses. Some buildings have ship names on their façades, telling of Bogø’s maritime history.
Nearby Nyby, Bogø Hovedgade and the surrounding town are designated as a cultural environment worthy of preservation. Most of this area lies within the town zone. The designation therefore applies to an entire urban setting, not just a single building.
Other historical sights in the area include the Dutch-style windmill Bogø Mølle, built in 1852, and Bogø Kirke. The church has three 19th-century ship models that bear witness to Bogø’s history as a seafaring island. Together with the seafarers’ houses and the ship names on the façades, these places offer different insights into the maritime past.
Walking and Coastline Around Nyby
The Camønoen, a 175-kilometre hiking trail across Møn, Nyord and Bogø, passes near Nyby. Its route across several islands shows the wider scope of the trail, making it a different focus from the cultural sites in and around the village.
Bogø’s coastline also offers variety: there are small cliffs and sandy beaches near Nyby. At Bogø Fyr, there are good opportunities to launch kayaks and canoes. There is also easy access to the coast, including for anglers and divers. Walking, paddling, fishing and diving therefore appeal to different interests, without needing to be combined into a single outing.
Ferry Service from Nyby
The Nyby ferry terminal is on the south coast of Bogø. In summer, you can travel from there to Stubbekøbing on Falster. If you are planning a ferry crossing as part of your stay, check the timetable for your travel dates. This lets you take the seasonal service into account when choosing your dates, without conflating it with the other excursions around Nyby.
Two distinct themes stand out when choosing where to stay: Bogø’s maritime and architectural history, and the landscape and activities in the surrounding area. The Camønoen is a long hiking trail across several islands, while coastal access and opportunities to launch kayaks or canoes at Bogø Fyr appeal to other interests. When looking for a holiday apartment in Nyby, you can weigh up which of these aspects matters most for your trip.
