Helsinge

Helsinge is the municipal seat of Gribskov Municipality in Region Hovedstaden on Zealand in Denmark.

[1] In early 19th century Helsinge was as small as the nearby villages, but it had an inn and a church and the vicar had another parish under him, Valby.

In 1840 23% of the 1258 inhabitants in the parish lived in the city, but in 1901 the percentage was 43% of 1647.

In the meantime the town had got among other things both a judge (1848), a doctor (1859), a post office (1863), telegraphy (1872) and a railway station (1897).
