Køge is a municipality in Roskilde County on the east coast of the island of Zealand in east Denmark. Køge, located close to Copenhagen, has a well-preserved old town, and is at the end of a line of the Copenhagen S-train system. The oldest house in Denmark can be found there.
During the local witchhunt, called Køge Huskors (1612), at least 15 persons were convicted of witchcraft and burned on the stake.
