==History== Stokkemarke is known to have existed under Valdemar II in the 13th century. It is one of the few villages in the area which came directly under the Crown rather than being dependent on an estate. Its inhabitants were proud of their status as "free farmers". The village was an important halt for travelers with its inn, first documented in 1666.
