Vinkældertorvet (Wine Cellar Square), where the village pond used to be, took its name from the Swedish Wars in the 17th century, because the inhabitants of Faxe hid their bottles of alcohol here from the enemy.

From Vinkældertorvet, Kalkbrudvej leads to the new cultural center at the edge of the limestone quarry with Geomuseum Faxe and a cinema.

GeoMuseum Faxe describes the fantastic story of the 63 mio. year old coral reef in Faxe Limestone Quarry.
At the museum you can also experience the hard daily lives of the limestone quarry workers in the old days,

From the large panoramic windows you can enjoy the view of the quarry.

The most fabulous view across the turquoise lakes and white chalk of Faxe limestone quarry, and a path leading down to it, is at the end of Stationsvej.

Dating from 1633 is the oldest preserved village school in Denmark, Rasmus Svendsen’s School, which is located in Nørregade.

Next door is Nicoline’s little half-timbered cottage where Faxe Brewery was founded in 1901.
