The County Hall is located in the city of Sor?. Sor? is by no means the biggest city in West Zealand, but it has great historical value. It is for instance home to Sor? Academy (Danish, Sor? Akademi), an educational institution built in 1140 together with the church where Queen Margaret I of Denmark was buried (later moved to Roskilde Domkirke, Roskilde).
