For the last 6 years Korsør hosted tourists from 9 cruise ships. The town is situated around a harbour which for centuries has been an important part of its inhabitants' daily life. To move from the southern part of the town to the northern, or vice versa, citizens have to pass over a bridge which at certain times of the day will be raised in order to let ships in or out of the fiord. Boats, vessels, merchant ships and the occasional cruise liner are regular visitors.
Around year 1200 AD more than two thousand church buildings were built throughout Denmark and many of these were decorated with frescos at the time of building or later. Today these murals may be found in some 600 churches across the country representing the highest concentration of surviving church murals anywhere in the world. The churches in the villages Ørslev and Ottestrup have good examples of quality murals which have survived for so many years.
