==History== Archeological findings have documented human activity on the island from the earliest times. Originally the island was a 66-hectare glacial moraine island separated from the smaller islands of Store and Lille Ægholm to the south by a shallow-watered area. In 1873 this area was reclaimed and the island's size was roughly doubled.
