On a fantastic plot of four hectares of land lies the lovely cottage 'Knøv'. Here there is high to the sky and lots of nature, quiet and birds whistling. The old farm was built in 1782 and has the characteristic seaweed roof for which Læsø is known. The cottage has been completely renovated in the last few years, but despite this, the cosy and authentic details have been preserved.
The former stable and barn have been converted into a lovely place. Here you will still find a feed trough, water post and in most places high ceilings. Inside, there is a lovely calm due to the thick roofs. Here you can enjoy the warmth and the crackling of the wood stove in the cold of winter or the lovely summer days in nature close to the water. In the former stable there are two rooms sleeping six people, and in the main house beds have been made for four overnight guests.
The whole house was built from timber and wreckage from shipwrecks, when all the forest on the island was used for salting in the late 1600s. The islanders used stranded vessels to build the houses. 'Knøv', as the house is called, was built over several generations. They built additional sheds as the family grew or if they became more prosperous. The last house at Knøv was built in 1918 as a stable and is thatched. The cottage is divided into two apartments, which can be rented together or separately.
Outside, the scenery is stunning and the many acres of land are full of adventure. And if you feel like making a fire, just do it. The beach is just 900 metres from the cottage, and if you're looking for groceries, a harbour environment and places to eat, head to Østerby, just 2.5 kilometres from the cottage. The bus is free, but you have to walk about a kilometre to the junction in Gl. Østerby to get on.

My name is Solveig and I am married to Henning. We are both islanders and seaweed people. I have a shop called Storhaven, which is open most of the year. Here I make creams, shampoos and other delicious products from seaweed and natural ingredients under the name 'Læsøfruerne'. My husband makes the seaweed roofs that Læsø is known for. He has started the renovation and preservation of the very unique roofs, which are also considered cultural heritage.
We run Storhaven, where there is also a café with a farm and an adventure place. My employees and I call ourselves Læsøfruerne, and we would love to have visitors. Especially during the summer period, the place is busy.
The island is excellent for cycling, and you can rent bikes in Østerby Harbor at Marina park on Smedevej. Here you can also rent an electric car for a half or full day. We definitely think a three-kilometer walk from the cottage along Alleen and Danzigmannvej is a good one. Here you will see eight houses with seaweed roofs, and in general, most of the seaweed houses on Læsø are located in this area.
If you want to eat gourmet food at Læsø's most popular and fun eatery 'Vesterøl', reservations are required. We also love going to the beach after stormy weather to look for amber, buy chanterelles in the stalls in Gl. Østerby or find them ourselves in the natural areas to the north. A former church in Vesterø has been converted into a spa and wellness bath, where you can get great treatments in the salty water.
In the seaweed house 'Knøv' there are two apartments that can be rented separately or together if you are a large family.
