Fensmark was the municipal seat of the former Holmegaard Municipality, until it was merged with four other municipalities to form the new Næstved Municipality on 1 January 2007.

Fensmark Church is located in the old Fensmark village by Chr. Winthersvej and the path to the Glass Works. It was consecrated in the Middle Ages to Our Lady. The church was extended in 1825 and in 1921 after the establishment of Holmegaard Glass Works.
