Robbe & Berking Yachting Heritage Centre

The Robbe & Berking Yachting Heritage Centre is a museum housed in a converted shipyard building near the waterfront with sailing yachts, historical boat models, and maritime collections. The display areas showcase sailing techniques, navigation instruments, and personal items from the history of yacht development.

The museum was founded in a traditional yacht shipyard with a long history of building high-quality sailing boats. The collection documents several centuries of boat design and shows how maritime craftsmanship techniques evolved over time.

The center features works by artists and photographers focused on sailing and coastal life. These exhibitions reflect the town's deep connection to its boat-building heritage and seafaring traditions.

The location sits directly at the harbor and is easily walkable from the city center. The collection can be thoroughly explored in a few hours, and visitors can also watch active boatbuilders at work in the shipyard.

The center houses one of the largest international specialist libraries for yacht literature with thousands of books on boat design and sailing history. This collection is a true treasure trove of rare and forgotten works for fans of maritime history.
