Today Lynge has grown together with the neighbouring village of Uggeløse into a small urban area with a population of 4,123 (1 January 2024).

[2] The first known reference to the name Lynge is in a gift letter from Canute the Holy to the Bishop Seat in Lund.

A fortified house, Langesøhus (later referred to as Borre), owned by the family, was in the Middle Ages located south of present-day Uggeløse Skov.

Administratively, the villages of Lynge and Uggeløse were already merged into Lynge-Uggeløse Sognekommune in 1842.

Lynge Church contains frescos (kalkmalerier) by the Issefjord Workshop.
