History & geography

History

The town is mentioned for the first time as "Saxakopingh" in the Danish Census Book from 1240. The town suffered from several fires, including in 1728, 1784 and 1800. In 1874, Sakskøbing was connected to the Danish rail network as the Lollandsbanen railway line between Nykøbing Falster and Nakskov was opened.

Geography

Sakskøbing is located on the north-eastern part of the island of Lolland in a flat and fertile moraine landscape. The town is located by a tunnel valley, a glacial terrain formation which runs from Sakskøbing in the northwest to the Guldborgsund strait in the southeast. It is located where the Sakskøbing River () empties into the Sakskøbing Fjord, an approximately long narrow and navigable inlet of Smålandsfarvandet, the body of water between the islands of Zealand, Lolland, Falster and Møn, and which on the last stretch to Sakskøbing narrows completely so that it looks more like a river than a inlet.
