Læsø Salt Museum

Læsø Salt Museum is a working production facility on a Danish island devoted to sea salt harvesting. The site displays evaporation pools, drying areas, and active salt crystallization where visitors can see the process unfold.

Salt harvesting on Læsø started in the 17th century and became the foundation of the island's economy. The methods developed then continue to shape production today.

The salt-making craft remains woven into how locals understand their island's identity. Visitors can observe how this centuries-old practice still shapes daily routines and community pride in the region.

The location has a cafe serving local food and a shop selling different salt products. Visitors should know that salt production depends on weather, and some pools may be more or less active depending on the season.

The salt made here is valued by chefs around the world for its particular mineral balance. This special composition comes from the natural seawater around the island and the slow evaporation methods used.
