Nexø is the second largest city on Bornholm and is exactly opposite to the capital on the east coast of the island.
background
With around 3700 inhabitants, Nexø is the second largest city on Bornholm after Rønne. The place is located on the east coast of Bornholm and has the port with the largest fishing fleet on Bornholm. In the course of its history - the place has had city rights since 1346 - Nexø has suffered a number of destruction, both by war and by the forces of nature. On the last days of World War II, on May 7th and 8th, 1945, the city was bombed by Soviet fighter planes, with around 850 of the 900 houses in the place being badly damaged or destroyed. Nevertheless, in addition to the many new buildings, you can still find well-preserved or restored buildings from the earlier times of the small town.
