History
Sandby has a history going back to the 13th century. From 1915 to 1967, it had a station on the Nakskov-Kragenæs Railway called Harpelunde as there was already a Sandby Station in Odsherred.Niels Jensen, Jernbaner på Lolland-Falster og Bornholm. Clausens Forlag 1977, pp. 59-68. The northern and eastern parts of the village bear traces of their agricultural history while more recent developments can be seen around the church to the south.[http://www.lolland.dk/Admin/Public/Download.aspx?file=Files%2FFiler%2FOmrdebeskrivelser+ML%2FSandby_og_omegn.pdf "Sandby og omegn - Landsbyerne ved kysten og Nakskov Fjord"], Lolland Kommune. {{in lang|da}} Retrieved 14 July 2013.
Landmarks
Dating from the middle of the 13th century, Sandby Church has a Romanesque chancel and nave and a Late Gothic tower. Its auricular Baroque altarpiece and pulpit and both from c. 1635, are remarkably well carved works probably by Hans Gudewerth the Younger.[http://www.natmus.dk/uploads/tx_tcchurchsearch/Maribo_0481-0497.pdf Kirsten Weber-Andersen, Otto Norn, Aage Roussell, Gertrud Købke Knudsen, "Sandby Kirke"], Danmarks kirker: Maribo amt, Volume 8, 1951, Nationalmuseet, pages 481-497. {{in lang|da}} Retrieved 14 July 2013.
The nearby Frederiksdal estate dates from the beginning of the 14th century. Today's manor house was completed in 1756 by Georg Dietrich Tschierske.[https://archive.today/20130714223819/http://www.lollands-herregaarde.dk/frederiksdal.html "Frederiksdal", Lolland'Falsters Herregårde"]. {{in lang|da}} Retrieved 14 July 2013.
