History
The entire area belonged to Arresødal Manor which was created by Major General Johan Frederik Classen om 1773.Classen founded the fishing village in 1784 with the aim of providing food for the workers at his gunpowder mill at Frederiksbærk. It was located in the outskirts of a large area which had been covered by drifting sand. The village originally consisted of just four families who were attracted to the site by freedom of taxes. The village was named after Classen's daughter Elisabeth (Lise).[1]
Unlike in many of its neighbouring fishing communities, a proper harbor was never built and commercial fishing ended in the 1960s.[2] Tourism began to develop in the early 1930s when the first bording houses opened and many summer houses were built.
Today
Liseleje still features some of the original, thatched fishermen's houses as well as many early summerhouses. Liselængen, which still offers accommodation, has been a pension (Danish:Pensionat) since 1936.
The former ice house at the end of Classensvej is from 1901 and was used by the fishermen to store the ice which made it possible to export their fish to Germany after the railway to Frederiksværk had opened.[3] Lisegården, a three-winged, thatched farmhouse, is now used as a conference venue.[4]
