Sea War Museum Jutland, Military museum in Thyborøn, Denmark
The Sea War Museum Jutland is a military museum in Thyborøn focused on naval confrontations and submarine warfare. It displays artifacts from battles in the North Sea during World War I, including equipment from German U-boats and British warships.
The museum was established to preserve the story of the 1916 naval battle, one of the largest maritime encounters of World War I. The collection includes remains from sunken vessels and equipment that documents how warfare unfolded at sea.
The adjoining memorial park honors the fallen with stone monuments and white figures representing each lost vessel and sailor from the naval engagement. This space serves as a place of remembrance for those affected by the war at sea.
The museum sits by the coast and is easily reached via the village road, with parking available near the entrance. Visitors should bring warm clothing, as coastal winds in this location are often cold.
On display is the conning tower from the German U-boat U-20, which sank multiple ships during the war. This rare artifact offers visitors a window into the cramped conditions sailors faced aboard submarines.
