Støberihallerne brings together Præstø's public library, citizen services and local history archive in a former iron foundry dating from 1898 - once the town's largest employer. Realdania By & Byg restored the industrial buildings, with their distinctive sawtooth roof, and the venue opened in February 2026. Alongside the book collection and civic services, it hosts talks, a literature café, children's theatre and repair cafés.
