Strandingsmuseum St. George

The Strandingsmuseum St. George spans 2,300 square meters across three floors, displaying thousands of artifacts recovered from North Sea shipwrecks.

In 1811, the English warships HMS St. George and HMS Defence sank during a storm on Christmas Eve, resulting in the loss of 1,400 sailors.

The museum exhibits illustrate maritime life through recovered objects including cannons, gold coins, musical instruments, and personal belongings from 19th-century naval vessels.

The museum features wheelchair accessibility throughout all floors, a maritime playground for children, a shop with local products, and a café serving fresh fish.

A 5.4-ton rudder from the HMS St. George stands 12 meters tall within the museum, serving as a central artifact of naval engineering.
