Geographyedit
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 Churchedit
Hårlev Church
Hårlev Church was build 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 build. It is said that the Tryggevælde Runestone originally stood here.[4]
