Præstø (Danish pronunciation: [ˈpʰʁæstˌøˀ]) is a town with a population of 3,880 (1 January 2024)[1] in Vordingborg Municipality in Region Sjælland on the east coast of the island of Zealand (Sjælland).

The islands of Maderne, Storeholm, and Lilleholm are part of the Præstø Fjord [da] wildlife reserves (Præstø Fjord Vildtreservat).

History

Præstø became crown property in 1353. In 1304, it was incorporated as a market town.

Præstø was the seat of the former Præstø municipality (Danish, kommune). As of January 1, 2007, Præstø municipality ceased to exist as the result of Kommunalreformen ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007). It was merged with Langebæk, Møn, and Vordingborg municipalities to form an enlarged Vordingborg municipality. This created a municipality with an area of 615 km2 (237 sq mi) and a total population of 46,307 (2005). The municipality belongs to the new Region Sjælland ("Zealand Region").

The former Prøstø municipality covered an area of 107 km2 (41 sq mi), and had a total population of 7,608 (2005). Its last mayor was Ole Møller Madsen, a member of the Venstre (Liberal Party) political party.
