History
Allinge and Sandvig were two separate towns, the former formed near the natural harbour on the northwestern coast,[2] while Sandvig has been a small fishing village, whose origins can be traced to the Middle Ages, its name derived from a sandy cove on the coast.[2] The port of Allinge dates from 1862, while that of Sandvig from 1831-33.
Hammershus fortress
The Hammershus fortress, Northern Europe's largest medieval fortification dating from 13th century is located northwest of Allinge, near the Hammeren promontory, the northernmost point on the island.[3]
