Gåbense Færgegård
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gåbense's role as a port for ferries between Falster and Zealand was based on a royal license which is first mentioned in Jens Sjællandsfars livsbrev (1523). The history of the present Gåbense Færgegård dates back to circa 1600. The building was also used as a post office.[1]
The ferry port in Gåbense moved west to Orehoved when the railway opened in 1872. A new car ferry operated between Gåbense and Vordingborg from 1919 but ceased to operate when the Storstrøm Bridge was inaugurated in 1936.[2] Gåbense Færgegård was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1950.[1]
