A protected coastal landscape, an area of high biological value, archaeological evidence and golf give Nostrup several distinctive highlights. The historic traces range from a Neolithic burial chamber and a thin-butted stone axe to settlement in the Late Bronze Age and military installations in the Nostrup and Nyrup area. You can choose where to stay based on nature, cultural history or golf.

Coastal Landscape and Nature

Klintegården in Nostrup covers about 13 ha of coastal land between Røsnæsvej and Kalundborg Fjord. On the south coast of Røsnæs, a protected coastal area stretches across 24 ha from Kongstrup to Nostrup. The different geographical settings help with orientation: Klintegården lies between a road and the fjord, while the other area follows the coast from Kongstrup to Nostrup.

Area B in Nostrup has species-rich herbaceous vegetation typical of the coastal cliffs of Røsnæs and is of high biological value. The fransk bredpande (Pyrgus amoricanus), considered one of Denmark’s most endangered butterflies, is found there. The nature theme therefore ranges from characteristic coastal vegetation to the significance of an endangered butterfly species. The coastal areas are described mainly in terms of their extent and location; Area B adds vegetation and species presence to the picture of nature.

Paths into the protected area

At the golf course near Nostrup, you can park east of the course near the burial mound and walk down through the protected area along the paths. Check the local route when you arrive.

Archaeological Traces and History

Archaeological excavations east of Røsnæsvej in Nostrup provide evidence of significant settlement in two successive periods, including the Late Bronze Age. A thin-butted stone axe was found by chance in Nostrup and dated to approximately 3,900–3,400 BC. Nostrup Runddysse is a Neolithic burial chamber, or dolmen. The round dolmen represents a monument type, the excavations tell of settlement, and the axe is a single find dated approximately. This distinguishes the prehistoric themes by building type, settlement history and archaeological object.

War relics in the Nostrup and Nyrup area

Four dug-in positions were added in the Nostrup and Nyrup area during the final part of the war; most are still visible today. Check on site which positions can be seen. A camp in the same area was also used as a listening and radio station. These military traces form a distinct historical theme alongside the prehistoric sites.

Golf in Nostrup

Kalundborg Golf Club is now located at Kildekærgård in Nostrup. The club offers Pay and Play on the first nine holes of its 18-hole course and also has a separate six-hole Par 3 course. The two options differ in that Pay and Play applies to part of the 18-hole course, while the Par 3 course is a separate facility. Check the current playing arrangements before your visit, as they may change.
