Rågeleje

Rågeleje stretches along the northern coast of Zealand, positioned between Gilleleje and Tisvildeleje, featuring sandy beaches and residential neighborhoods.

The settlement, first documented in 1582, evolved from a fishing community where residents combined maritime activities with sheep herding until the late 19th century.

The slope toward the beach received protection from conservation authorities in 1940 through the initiative of local property owners.

The area contains multiple holiday homes and accommodations, connected by public transport and roads, located 50 kilometers north of Copenhagen.

Rågegården, an Arts & Crafts inspired house from 1915 designed by Povl Baumann, earned protected status in the Danish registry in 1989.
