NV Cruising Guide
Navigation
The approach to the harbours is only recommended for those unfamiliar with the area during the day. You sail over the unlit, but well marked 3m deep fairway of Sakskøbing Fjord. Outside the fairway it is very shallow and there are many old piles in the water. It is important to follow the fairway markings.
Between Oreby-Bro and the commercial harbour of Sakskøbing, 5kn max speed applies because of the bank reinforcement and the reed population. It is difficult to see the name of the fairway here.
Berths
You are moored in the former commercial harbour at the southern quay or the pier of the Sailing Club (SMSK) at 3m water depth.
Surroundings
Supply possibilities are in the place. Extensive repair and yacht services are offered by two boatyards.
NV Land Guide
The "smiling water tower" is the landmark of the provincial town at the end of the three-mile Sakskøbing Fjord. The painted eyes, nose and smiling mouth make the water tower top look like a hat on a face. The smiling face doesn't promise too much about the journey through the very narrow Sakskøbing Fjord either. The trip through the prickened channel along the picturesque shore is an experience to be recommended, which is unfortunately marred at the end by the somewhat barren looking harbour. Here, where cement is loaded, factories and a shipyard cause commotion, the town of about 5,000 inhabitants shows its second face, the face of an industrial town, known among other things for its large sugar factory. Around Sakskøbing, therefore, sugar beet cultivation plays a special role.
After all, the reed belts of the Sakskøbing Fjord reach right up to the harbour and whoever can still find moorings at the house of the Roklub lies a little away from the harbour action. A longer stay here is also not recommended, although the advantage of the harbour reaching into the town is obvious: the proximity to the centre.
When it comes to sports and leisure facilities, the small town can again point to its smiling face at the water tower. A sports centre with two training halls, cafeteria and indoor swimming pool, a sauna, tennis courts, trim trails, a mini-golf course and a club and culture house are among the leisure facilities. Those who expect a preserved townscape from earlier days will be disappointed. Although the old low houses are still preserved here and there in the city centre, the amount is meagre considering the age of the city.
A precursor of today's Sakskøbing is said to have existed before the turn of the millennium. Had a fire not destroyed large parts of the fjord town in the 18th century, there would certainly be more old buildings worth seeing today. However, the oldest building in the town, St. Pouls Church, is worthy of mention. The late Romanesque church of the 13th century has a nave that is worth seeing. A monument to the occasional rainy weather has been erected on the market square in the form of a fountain. A statue with an umbrella stands there in the rain all year round, waiting for the fountain to be turned off at least in winter.
The town owes its development to a ford running through the narrow fairway of the fjord. Those who wanted to pass the traffic junction had to pay tolls. And because this was the only connection between East and West Lolland, the town earned a lot of road tolls in the Middle Ages. The town was first called Saxtorp. With the town privileges granted by King Erik Menved in 1306, it was renamed Sakskøbing.
In Danish history, Sakskøbing is a rather blank slate. However, a king was once killed here: in 1331, Holstein nobles attacked King Christoffer II, who was staying in Sakskøbing, and brought him to Aalholm (see also Nysted, Aalholm Castle). His court in Sakskøbing was burned.
Most of all it was the fjord and the harbour that helped the town to develop rapidly.
All the surrounding countryside, including the town of Maribo (see Bandholm), exported and imported through the harbour of Sakskøbing. As elsewhere, the slump came with the plague and the Swedish wars. The population shrank from over 700 to 300 inhabitants. The unused fjord became congested and recovery was thus blocked.
Instead, the mooring bridge at the Orebygård estate at the entrance to the fjord gained importance. (See Oreby) This, however, led to disputes with the lord of the manor who owned the land.
It was not until the end of the 18th century, after the fjord had been made navigable again, that the town flourished again. Now, in addition to the landscape, the emerging industry took advantage of the narrow fjord. Around 1870, after the construction of the bridge from Sundby (Lolland) to Nykøbing (Falster), the town once again experienced a very difficult economic period, but only a few years later trade flourished again with the construction of the railway line to Nakskov and Nykøbing. Lolland's largest manor house, five kilometres away, is well worth a visit. The three-winged Krenkerup Castle, surrounded by a park of almost 20 hectares, was built over 560 years ago. Part of this vast complex, dotted with rare trees, is open to visitors (along signposted paths).
Berritsgård Castle, some four kilometres from Sakskøbing, is captivating in its Renaissance style. It has been only insignificantly altered since its completion, and that was over 400 years ago.
