Mern is a village with a population of 1,001 (1 January 2024)[1] located in Vordingborg Municipality, Region Zealand in Denmark.
The village is a former Railway town at the Næstved-Præstø-Mern Railroad which was closed in 1961.https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%A6stved-Pr%C3%A6st%C3%B8-Mern_Banen
Mern church was originally a Romanesque brick-covered church, later rebuild and extended, now as a white-washed village church. The church has 4 south chapels from approximately 1510-20, the tower somewhat later.[2]
In the early afternoon, 29. August 1878, a 4.6 kg meteoritic stone fell from the sky with impact just east of Mern. The Mern meteorite is the most massive meteorite of the only 4 clearly witnessed meteorite falls (all stones) recovered in Denmark.[3]
