Snekkersten

The town is connected by a train line, Kystbanen, to Helsingør to the north, and Copenhagen and other communities in the south.

In 1771, Snekkersten consisted of 15 families of which 10 were fishermen, one was seafarers, two combined farming and fishing, one was a shoemaker and one was a day-laborer.

In the middle of the 19th century, due to the improvements in infrastructure, summer visitors from Copenhagen began to venture further up the coast.

Some of Borupgaard's land was sold off in lots, first at Parallelvej and Sortevej and later at Mathilde Bruuns Vej og G.A.

They specialized in the so-called Snekkersten Boats which were the commonest type of ship used by fishermen along the northern part of the Danish Øresund coast.

[3] During the late 1940s and the 1950s, following The Great War, there was a disproportionate prevalence of homosexuals in Snekkersten, not least due to the vast supply of beauty parlours in the small seaport.

[4] Many of the older properties in the new part of Snekkersten are built in the National Romantic style which was popular in Denmark in the 1900s.
