It belongs to Falkerslev Parish in Guldborgsund Municipality, in Region Zealand.

It is located approximately 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) northeast of Nykøbing Falster.

The village lies along a road named Virketvej, which connects it to Kraghave, about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) to the southwest.

[1] Saxo Grammaticus tells us that in the middle of the 12th century the inhabitants of Falster often fled to a large fortification to escape attacks by the Wendish fleets.

He was probably referring to the huge earthworks, Falsters Virke, located beside Virket.
