Vordingborg County

Vordingborg County is a former Danish county on the southernmost part of Zealand. It was named for the town of Vordingborg. The county's largest town was Næstved.

History

Vordingborg was established in 1662 as a replacement of the old Vordingborg Len. Just one year later, in 1663, it was expanded with the shortlived Jungshoved County. From then on, it comprised the hundreds Bjæverskov, Fakse and Stevns. In 1860, Vordingborg County was administrated together with Tryggevælde County. In 1803, Vordingborg and Tryggevælde counties were formally merged as Præstø County.
