The 15 best museums in Soenderborg

Very friendly staff member at the ticket office who gave me a detailed rundown of the museum and it's exhibitions. The museum itself is interesting and well made, I loved the temporary exhibition on World War 1, the short videos with reenactments of actual experiencs soldiers had in the trenches nearly moved me to tears. My only complaint is that a lot of the exhibition (especially the temporary one) is in Danish only, which is a pity since there are a lot of Germans and non-danish speakers in general visiting

Awesome, needs about 2hrs to go through all 3 floors slowly

Sønderborg Castle is a wonderful place to visit — beautifully preserved, well organized, and offering great views over the water. The exhibitions are interesting and thoughtfully presented, making it easy to explore the region’s history. I would only suggest adding a bit more historical context or storytelling to some sections to make the experience even richer. Overall, a very enjoyable and worthwhile visit!

A quaint castle full of history. The kids had a wonderful time decorating their swords and crowns.

I visited the museum with my danish partner and I was really happy I could visit it with him because not a lot was in English or German. So he basically did a lot a explained. So to me the price is a bit high for not understanding more than half of the rooms. The cafe is also nice. The costumes are however nice.

We only walked around the castle, didn't go in. But it was beautiful from the outside.

I would give it more if there were more explanations in English.. With QR this could be done at low cost. Start with explanation about the room and then do the top exhibits and so on.

The price is 60kr and there is no student discount which is still affordable. The museum has a new audio guide and you can follow the entire exhibition in English or German which is a plus. The guided tour is a real added value and it's nice that you don't have to pay extra for it. I would recommend spending 1 to 2 hours there. I really enjoyed discovering and learning new stuff about the German minority in Denmark.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting little museum to delve into the history of the German minority. Very nice staff who are open to all questions. We liked it. Many greetings to the team. (Original) Sehr interessantes kleines Museum um in die Geschichte der deutschen Minderheit einzutauchen. Sehr nettes Personal, welches für alle Fragen offen ist. Es hat uns gefallen. Viele Grüße an das Team.

(Translated by Google) This museum is recommended to anyone interested in German-Danish history. (Original) Jedem Interessierten für die deutsch-dänische Geschichte ist dieses Museum zu empfehlen.

(Translated by Google) Highly recommended, even with children! An informative, diverse exhibition, designed with modern technology. The free German-language guided tour (currently on Mondays at 1 p.m., no registration required, just pay the admission fee) is also highly recommended. (Original) Sehr empfehlenswert, auch mit Kindern! Eine informative, abwechslungsreiche und auch mit moderner Technik gestaltete Ausstellung. Die kostenlose deutsche Führung (derzeit montags 13 Uhr, ohne Anmeldung, einfach Eintritt zahlen) ist auch sehr empfehlenswert.

(Translated by Google) Very nice and informative museum. (Original) Sehr schönes und informatives Museum.

(Translated by Google) Queen Margarethe and Steinmeier each plant a tree. Danish beech and German oak (Original) Königin Margarethe und Steinmeier pflanzen je einen Baum. Dänische Buche und deutsche Eiche

(Translated by Google) A great addition to the other historical museums in Sønderborg. It tells the story of the German minority in North Schleswig in a modern and open manner. Absolutely worth a visit! (Original) Eine tolle Ergänzung zu den übrigen historischen Museen in Sonderburg. Hier wird auf moderne und offene Art die Geschichte der deutschen Minderheit in Nordschleswig erzählt. Absolut einen Besuch wert!

Came a bit late so I didn't get a chance to get inside but, the views from outside were just as amazing. Take a stroll and enjoy the cool breeze

We were here because our old friend work as tour guide. Very interesting museum and we were learn about the history of the 1st world war between Denmark and Germany. The kids were enjoyed! Learn about the morse and old fashioned bowling. And beautiful views and the windmill.

It is an interesting historical place for the battle that happened here. Mostly for Germans and Danes. Even though it was back in 1864, there's a lot of information about who was fighting and who died. It was also the first time the Red Cross was there to help.

Historic place. Denmark and Germany in war in 1884. Very realistic place to visit. Definitely worth a visit also for families with children. There are lots of realistic buildings and exhibits. Once you have visited the place, you can go down to Dybbøl mill. Is it a summer day you visit the place, lies Vemmingbund beach, not far from there. A lovely beach

Very interesting exhibition with lots of history about what happened in the months of 1864. Unfortunately it is a very small site and you can see it all in a few hours. But if you add some walking routes in the surrounding area to see the ancient battle positions it will take longer. Support history and visit this site if you are in the area.

The guides make the experience. They are great at sharing the history in a way that appeals to both children and adults. Very much worth a visit.

Fantastic and fascinating guided tour! We did not know what to expect, but we were plesantly suprised. It's exciting and we learned a lot ! Definelty worth a visit !

It's a cute and unusual place. It is quite informative and cool to walk around the factory. Worth visiting if you're in the area (e.g. on the Gendarmstein hike). On May 2, they had just opened, so there was no food truck.

Had an excellent few hours here. We were lucky to be here for a "living history" weekend. My two children (6 and 4) had a good time. The volunteers working here are very friendly and informative.

Old brick factory museum now, there is a great seaside walk along the rest of old ruined factories sites.

Museum is nice and interesting to see this part of history. Not mind-blowing. But simple and enjoyable. Kids loved the easter hunt that they had, so really appreciate that! Info only in Danish and German so if you are not fluent in one of the two, most of the exhibit would be difficult to understand.

Interesting and beautiful place!

Great museum with actors, role playing historic themes

Good museum in very nice surroundings.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful old farm, where you really get the feeling of what daily life was like in agriculture and on the farm. Thank you for a good talk and tour. (Original) Flot gammel gård, hvor man virkelig får fornemmelsen af hvordan dagligdagen var i landbruget og på gården. Tak for en god snak og rundvisning.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful farm, lovingly maintained and cared for. For about €7, you could see everything. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by a German-speaking Dane and given a one-hour tour for four people. It was very interesting, with lots of background information from an experienced guide. Well worth a visit! Dogs are also allowed inside the houses. Opening hours are rather limited, so it's best to check in advance. (Original) Sehr toller Bauernhof,der mit liebe gepflegt und erhalten wird. Für ca. 7€ konnte man sich alles anschauen. Also wir ankamen wurden wir direkt von einem deutschsprachigen Dänen herzlich empfangen und bekamen ca. 1 Stunden Führung für 4 Personen. Es war sehr interessant und viel Hintergrundwissen aus erfahrener Hand.Ein Besuch Wert!!! Hunde durften auch mit in die Häuser rein. Öffnungszeiten sind eher begrenzt und sollte man sich vorher informieren.

(Translated by Google) Considering the state of decay, the farm has been beautifully restored. Too bad the opening hours were limited. (Original) Gezien de staat van verval is de boerderij prachtig gerestaureerd. Jammer dat de openingstijden ze beperkt waren.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately the place was closed for the season, but we could see the farm from the outside. (Original) Desværre var stedet lukket for sæsonen, men vi kunne fint se gården udefra

(Translated by Google) Nice and thorough tour of a very interesting place. (Original) Fin og grundig rundvisning på et meget spændende sted.

Nice place full of passion for history.

(Translated by Google) It is extremely interesting how advanced shipbuilding was in the Iron Age back then. The fact that they had already developed resins that they mixed with various wool and hair, so to speak the precursor to polyeste resins or epoxy resins, is incredible. Didactically, the topic of shipbuilding is presented here in a great way. Excellently designed especially for children and young people. I can only recommend it! (Original) Hochinteressant wie weit der Schiffbau der damaligen Eisenzeit schon war . Das Die damals schon Harze entwickelt haben die Sie mit verschienster Wolle und Haren gemischt haben so zu sagen der Vorläufer des Poliyesteharze oder Epoxidharze ist unglaublich . Didaktisch wir das Thema Schiffbau hier klasse dargestellt. Gerade für Kinder und Jugentliche hervorragend gestaltet. Kann ich nur empfehlen!

(Translated by Google) A unique experience. Impressive what enthusiasts can produce when they get together. The tour and good conversation my wife and I had was beyond expectations. Definitely worth a visit if you are interested in history and good craftsmanship. (Original) En enestående oplevelse. Imponerende hvad entusiaster kan frembringe, når de rotter sig sammen. Den rundvisning og gode samtale min kone og jeg fik var over al forventning. Absolut et besøg værd, hvis man interesserer sig for historie og godt håndværk.

(Translated by Google) It is really worth a visit. With film and narration, you are led into the story of the discovery of the boat, and the work of reconstructing the new one. You can feel the rush of the story - and the team's enthusiasm and enthusiasm. (Original) Det er virkelig et besøg værd. Med film og fortælling føres man ind i historien om fundet af båden, og arbejdet med rekonstruktion af den nye. Man mærker suset af historien - og lagets begejstring og virkelyst.

(Translated by Google) It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the people are super nice. You get a guided tour and a film, so to speak. Everything is explained in German, too. Highly recommended. (Original) Macht von aussen nicht viel her, aber die Leute sind super nett. Man bekommt sozusagen eine Führung und einen Film. Bekommt auch alles auf deutsch erklärt. Sehr empfehlenswert.

(Translated by Google) Interesting workshop with a replica of the Hjortspringbåden from the early Iron Age. Exciting film about the production and good stories about the boat, the history and possible reasons why the boat was put in the bog. Nice that the locals have made a fantastic 20 man canoe a reality. (Original) Interessant værksted med en kopi af Hjortspringbåden fra den tidlige jernalder. Spændende film om fremstillingen og gode fortællinger om båden, historien og mulige grunde til, at båden blev lagt i mosen. Dejligt, at lokalbefolkningen har virkeliggjort en fantastisk 20 mands kano.

(Translated by Google) A fantastic museum on shipbuilding in the early Iron Age. Very knowledgeable and engaging tour. (Original) Super Museum zum Thema Schiffsbau in der frühen Eisenzeit. Sehr kompetente und spannende Führung.

Great private collection of old tractors from all over the world. Not just old tractors, but rare old tractors - some have only even been produced in less than 80 pieces. Well worth appreciation.

More a Collection than a Museum but over 220 weird and wonderful tractors from all countries and manufacturers. If you love old tractors you'll love this place. My only gripe was the A4 information sheet zip tied to the front of each tractor rather spoiling some photos. That aside well worth a couple of hours and a bargain at only 50 dkr.

A lott to see if you like old tractors.

Cool experience for the entire Family but especially nice for the kids. There were some electric vehicles for the kids which they could drive. Our son almost did not want to leave... :)

Great experience, great collection of different 🚜...

A bit hard to find, great collection of small tractors.

Supper

(Translated by Google) Always something going on, great team The Siku tractors on the ground are a MUST for small and large drivers. Great action days (Original) Immer was los, tolle Mannschaft Die Siku Traktoren auf'm Boden, dass MUSS für die kleinen und großen Fahrer. Super Aktionstage

(Translated by Google) The Tractor Museum is quite nice. Once you've been there, you're done. The reason for more visits... Above the Tractor Museum, you can drive through beautiful landscapes and plow fields in remote-controlled tractors and trucks. The kids will be kept busy for 2-3 hours. Maybe the dads too... (Original) Das Traktor Museum ist ganz nett. Wenn man mal da war ist man durch. Der Grund für weitere Besuche... Über dem Traktor Museum kann man aber mit ferngesteuerbaren Traktoren und LKWs durch tolle Landschaften fahren und Felder pflügen. 2-3 Stunden sind die Kinder beschäftigt. Die Väter vielleicht auch...

(Translated by Google) Even if you're a novice and don't have much to do with the topic of farming, there's a lot to discover here. Plenty of technology and descriptions.

Also worth seeing is the old farmhouse, which can even be visited with a guided tour upon request. (Original) Auch wenn man als Laie nicht viel mir dem Thema Landwirtschaft Anfang kann, gibt es hier viel zu entdecken. Viel Technik und Beschreibung.

(Translated by Google) It's a very nice museum that brilliantly presents the history of agricultural machinery.
