Hårlev is a railway town with a population of 2,957 (1 January 2026)[1] in Stevns Municipality on the southeastern part of the Danish island of Zealand about 12 kilometres south of Køge.

Overview

Hårlev was located in the former Bjæverskov Hundred (Danish: "Herred")

Until 1 January 2007 Hårlev was the municipal seat of the former Vallø Municipality.

Geography

In spite of being a part of Stevns Municipality Hårlev is not geographical located on the Stevns Peninsula. The town is located just west of the so-called Tryggevælde River Valley (Danish: Tryggevælde Ådal) which marks the northern half of the boundary between the peninsula and the rest of Zealand. Actually it is not a real valley but a wide natural deepening along the banks of Tryggevælde River (Tryggevælde Å).[2]

Hårlev Church

Hårlev Church

Hårlev Church was built between 1175-1275 and is the largest and best preserved of the younger chalk's churches in Stevns Municipality.[3]

Hårlev Church with Hother's Mound in the foreground

The churchyard is the site of Hother's Mound. We know nothing about Hother, but because the mound has a flat top and is close to the church, it's probably from late antiquity - in Denmark early Viking Age - long before the church was built. It is said that the Tryggevælde Runestone originally stood here.[4]

Transportation

Hårlev is served by Hårlev railway station. The station is located where the railroad Østbanen from Køge divides into two lines, a southeastern line to Store Heddinge and Rødvig and a southern line to Faxe Ladeplads.
