The Fire in Kirke Saaby on 12 May 1771

Lejre Archive and Kirke Saaby-Kisserup Parish Council invite you to an evening about the devastating fire in Kirke Saaby on 12 May 1771. Drawing on archival materials, Leif Rasmussen from Lejre Archive will recount the course of the fire and what it must have meant for the small rural community to be caught in it.

After the lecture, the archive will distribute a pocket-sized brochure titled "In the Footsteps of History", which invites you to take walks in Kirke Saaby with the 1771 fire as the theme.
