It is mainly a harbour town, with a working harbour and a marina. The town is surrounded by forest and sandy beaches with shallow water. The forest stretches all the way to the sea, and from the edge one can see the island of [Møn](/source/M%C3%B8n) and the small protected wildlife park, Feddet. ## History The town was originally called Hylleholt. The current name comes from a time in the 19th century when the countship of [Vemmetofte](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vemmetofte_Cloister&action=edit&redlink=1) decided to build a harbour to service the limestone industry up in the neighboring [Faxe](/source/Faxe) town. Ladeplads literally means *stock area*. In the town is Hylleholt Church from 1878. The local railway ([Østsjællands Jernbane](/source/%C3%98stsj%C3%A6llands_Jernbane)) coming from Køge was inaugurated in 1879, from [Faxe Kalkbrud](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Faxe_Kalkbrud&action=edit&redlink=1) (Limestone Quarry), [Faxe Limestone Quarry](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Faxe_Limestone_Quarry&action=edit&redlink=1) in Faxe on a narrow gauge railway and the narrow gauge railway was running on a normal gauge railway[*[clarification needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify)*] to the harbor in Faxe Ladeplads. ## Education Hylleholt School was founded in 1878. In the first years it was referred to as Strandskolen (The Beach School) because of the town's location by the beach. In 1975 the building of a new school began on Dannebrogsvej 1, because of the old school's lack of modernization, expansion opportunities and the fact that the school was very expensive to heat.

[Waldemarsbo Efterskole](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Waldemarsbo_Efterskole&action=edit&redlink=1) began on Hylleholtvej 6, in 1979 in Faxe Ladeplads[7] ## Transportation [Faxe Ladeplads railway station](/source/Faxe_Ladeplads_railway_station) in 2020.
