Langebæk

Langebæk (Danish pronunciation: [ˈlɑŋəˌpek]) is a town with a population of 245 (1 January 2024),[1] which until 1 January 2007 was the municipal seat of the former Langebæk Municipality (Danish, kommune) in Region Sjælland on the southeastern tip of the island of Zealand (Sjælland) in south Denmark.

The municipality included the islands of Langø, Tærø and Lilleø, and it covered an area of 101 km2 (39 square miles).

Its last mayor was Henrik Holmer, a member of the Social Democrats (Socialdemokraterne) political party.

At the narrowest point between the two islands to the south of Langebæk, the waters are named Wolf Strait (Ulvsund).

The Queen Alexandrine Bridge connects the former municipality, and the island of Zealand, to Møn at the town of Kalvehave.
