Køge was founded by royal decree at the first location south of Copenhagen with a natural harbor. The decree was issued in the years leading up to 1288, during which a town plan was designed. Remarkably, this plan remains intact for the old town center today. Køge was granted its municipal charter in 1288.
Køge boasts one of Denmark's highest concentrations of well-preserved half-timbered houses from the Renaissance period, located in its town center. Among these is one of Denmark's oldest half-timbered houses, dating back to 1527 as confirmed by a date inscription, as well as the oldest town hall still in use, built in 1552.
