Rø is a small village on the Danish island of Bornholm, 2 km from the north coast and 7 km west of Gudhjem. The Rønne–Allinge railway (1913–1953) brought prosperity to the village leaving the old station in the village. The Bornholm Art Museum is close to Rø as are the scenic Sanctuary Rocks.[http://www.fugleognatur.dk/lokalitetintro.aspx?ID=16184 "Rø Bornholm"], Danmarks Fugle og Natur. {{in lang|da}} Retrieved 25 September 2012.
Rø Church from 1888 is a rough copy of the now demolished Romanesque building from the 13th century.[http://www.kirkehistorie.dk/bornv/ki126.htm "Rø Kirke"], Dansk kirkehistorie. {{in lang|da}} Retrieved 25 September 2012.
