Frøslevlejrens Museum, World War II prison camp museum in Aabenraa Municipality, Denmark.

The museum includes three exhibition buildings with preserved prisoner barracks, watchtower, and detailed displays of camp life from 1944 to 1945.

Between August 1944 and May 1945, this German internment facility held 12,000 Danish prisoners, primarily resistance members, Communists, and political detainees.

The museum exhibits document daily prisoner experiences through personal belongings, photographs, letters, and authentic reconstructions of living quarters.

Located at Lejrvejen 83 in Padborg, the museum charges DKK 75 for adult admission while children under 18 enter without cost.

The facility continued operations after World War II as Faarhus Camp until 1949, detaining 5,000 Danish citizens who collaborated with German authorities.
