Sorø Municipality, Administrative municipality in Zealand, Denmark
Sorø is an administrative region in Zealand comprising ten urban settlements with the town of Sorø as its administrative center. The territory features lakes that shape the landscape and combines urban centers with rural areas.
The municipality came into being in 2007 through a nationwide administrative reform that merged former communities and created the modern structure. This reorganization changed governance and enabled more efficient public services across the region.
The town of Sorø, serving as the administrative hub, hosts several museums and an art gallery where visitors encounter local and international artworks. The historical Academy founded in 1586 shapes the town's character and draws those interested in educational heritage.
Visitors can easily reach several museums and an art gallery on foot in the town of Sorø. The surrounding lakes offer recreational opportunities, and the flat terrain makes exploring by bicycle pleasant.
The name Sorø comes from the numerous lakes in the region, particularly from Sorø Lake, which defines the area. The waterways have shaped settlement patterns and daily life for centuries.
