Frøslev Camp

Frøslev Camp is a museum on the grounds of a facility built by German occupying forces in 1944. The site preserves original barracks, watchtowers, and barbed wire that show the layout and physical structure of the compound.

The camp was established by German occupying forces to hold Danish resistance members and political prisoners. After the war ended, Danish authorities repurposed the buildings and grounds before the site was later transformed into a memorial museum.

The name comes from the nearby village of Frøslev. Visitors can see how the layout of barracks shaped daily life for prisoners and understand the confined conditions they endured.

The museum is located in a small town near the German border and is easily accessible by car or bus. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the grounds are extensive and require time to explore fully.

The museum displays personal belongings and letters from prisoners that offer direct glimpses into their daily experience. These objects tell stories that would otherwise remain hidden from broader historical accounts.
