Geocache Description:

Torvet i Ærøskøbing
Ærøskøbing by er enestående i Danmark med sine smukke gamle sammenhængende huse og middelalderlig byplan, som er intakt, takket være en ihærdig indsats fra borgere og bystyre.
Torvet i Ærøskøbing har mange seværdigheder. Genforeningspladsen, med monument i form at et lindetræ, 4 sten og bænke imellem stenene om Sønderjyllands genforening i 1920. Man kan også opleve de flere hundrede år gamle skilte fra byens fortid, som byen modtog ”Europa Nostra” prisen for i 2002, som bevaringsværdige detaljer i bybilledet. Ved torvet ligger ”Visdomskilden” – den gamle latinskole fra 1782 med lindetræer foran og kirken i baggrunden. Ærøskøbing Kirke er bygget i 1756-58. Foran ses de gamle bypumper som var i brug indtil 1952. En tur gennem byen er, som at gå tilbage i historien; det ene skønne gadebillede afløser det andet, og de maleriske huse, gamle lygter og blomstrende roser fuldender idyllen.

The square in Ærøskøbing
The town is exceptional in Denmark. Its unique qualities are to be found in a continuous and medieval town plan, which has been kept intact due to a persevering effort from townsmen and the municipal government. The vibrant beauty of the town is seen in the charming houses, which depict old building traditions developed over centuries.
The square in Ærøskøbing and the reunification mark in the middle. Here you can also admire the old signs, some dating more than 200 years back. The signs are mentioned in connection with the “Europa Nostra” in 2002 award as admirable details in the townscape. The old water pumps were used until 1952. At the square are “The Source of Wisdom” – the former grammar school from 1782 with the lime trees in front and the church in the background Ærøskøbing Church from 1756-58. A stroll through the town is like going back in time; one beautiful street scene is followed by another and the picturesque houses, old street lamps and blooming roses perfectly frame the idyll.
