You find Lyø town and the church with the round cemetery right in the middle of the island.The narrow streets are interspersed with beautiful old half-timbered houses and five village ponds.
Many of the town houses are from the 18th century, and some are even older. Lyø city is one of the most exciting village environments in Denmark.

The bell Stone at Lyø is a millennium-old dolmen. It delivers a clear, resonant tone when you strike it. Many stories relate to this dolmen, such as - when it gives out a sound your wish will be fulfilled.
