History

Præstø County (Danish: Præstø Amt) is a former province in Denmark, located on the southern part of Zealand. It was established in 1750 as a merger between Tryggevælde County and Vordingborg County. Møn County was added in 1803. It was abolished in 1970, merging with Maribo County to form Storstrøm County. You can find more information at the Wikipedia article Præstø County.
