History & geography

History

From about 1250 Ærøskøbing became the commercial and maritime hub of the island. A major fire in 1629 destroyed many buildings, but the town later experienced a revival. Many old homes were rebuilt, and new, larger ones were constructed, reflecting architectural from Funen, northern Germany and the duchy of Schleswig— which Ærø belonged until it was transferred to Denmark (officially in 1867). Today, the town showcases a rich and continuous building tradition spanning several centuries.
