Gåbense Færgegård

Gåbense's role as a port for ferries between Falster and Zealand was based on a royal license which is first mentioned in Jens Sjællandsfars livsbrev (1523).

The history of the present Gåbense Færgegård dates back to circa 1600.

[1] The ferry port in Gåbense moved west to Orehoved when the railway opened in 1872.

A new car ferry operated between Gåbense and Vordingborg from 1919 but ceased to operate when the Storstrøm Bridge was inaugurated in 1936.

[2] Gåbense Færgegård was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1950.
