The park was created in the 1790s by French nobleman Antoine de Bosc de la Calmette for his wife Elisabeth, commonly known as Lisa. Liselund, roughly translated, means Lise's grove.
2. Elmelunde Church
Elmelunde Church, famous for its frescos, is located in the village of Elmelunde, Møn, in southeastern Denmark.

4. Svinø Kirke
Svinø Church is the parish church of Svinø Parish, Vordingborg Municipality and is relatively new, as it was built in the year 1900 in red brick with a choir, nave, and a low bell tower.

5. GeoCenter Møns Klint
GeoCenter Møns Klint is a geological and natural history museum on the island of Møn in southeastern Denmark. Located close to the top of the chalk cliffs known as Møns Klint, it was opened on 29 May 2007 by Queen Margrethe. The building was designed by PLH Architects, the winners of an international design competition.
6. Nyord Kirke
Nyord Church on the island of Nyord near Møn is centrally located in the town, where most roads lead to and around the church. Nyord Church's octagonal shape fits perfectly with the plot of land on which the church stands. And that is probably the practical reason for its basic plan. In 1846, there was a piece of unused land of the "fort", i.e. the village land around and between the farms. As a possible model for the church, Charlemagne's 8-sided castle chapel from c.800 in Aachen is mentioned.
7. Timmesøbjerg-borgen
Timmesøbjerg Castle is a Bronze Age castle complex located at Timmesøbjerg in Store Klinteskov at Møns Klint on Møn. The hill has steep slopes to the east, south and west. To the north to northeast, double graves have been dug. In the area there are many burial mounds.
