History

The place is first documented in 1379 when the Archbishop of Lund encouraged herring fishing by having six fishermen's huts built there. The harbour was first laid out with three basins in the middle of the 19th century. In 1891, a fourth basin was dug out in the rocks to the east of the other three. The harbour was further enlarged in 1982. Over the years, the village has developed combining farming and fishing.

Today

With its rocky coast and old half-timbered houses, Listed is a well preserved village. The paths along the shore lead to woods and streams with views of the waves breaking on the rocks. The harbour accommodates both fishing boats and pleasure craft. The old houses, many of them listed buildings, are packed tightly together along the main road and up little lanes. There is a small sandy beach bordered by low rocky cliffs."Listed på Bornholm - et lille smukt fiskerleje"
