West Zealand County (Danish : Vestsjællands Amt ) is a former county (Danish : amt Zealand (Sjælland ) in eastern Denmark . The county was formed on 1 April 1970, comprising a few former counties. The county was abolished effective January 1, 2007, when it merged into Region Sjælland (i.e. Region Zealand ).[1]
The county was responsible for public hospitals, upper secondary schools and schools for Higher Preparatory Examination, public transport and social welfare for the disabled.[2]
The County Hall was located in the town of Sorø , and became the seat of the new region . Sorø is by no means the biggest city in West Zealand, but it has great historical value. It is famed for the Sorø Academy (Danish , Sorø 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 ).
Many people who live in West Zealand commute to the greater metropolitan area of Copenhagen for work.
