Bangsbo Coastal Museum
The Bangsbo Coastal Museum is housed in the old manor house, which dates back to 1364 and is located in the idyllic Bangsbo area.
In the main building (also called “The White Farm”), the primary exhibition is centered on life around the year 1900. Here, the farm was owned by Johan Knudsen and a gathering place for some of the greatest writers and painters of the time. So here you can follow in Herman Bang's footsteps and get an exciting insight into the colorful life at Bangsbo.
In the farm's former breeding buildings you will find a fascinating occupation exhibition, which provides a gripping insight into various stories of fate as well as the dangerous work of the resistance movement. In addition, you can visit an exciting maritime exhibition that shows the unique Ellingå ship from 1163, impressive galleon figures, various ship models and marine archeology.
In the main building you will find a ticket office as well as a cozy museum shop and café. All year round, there is dissemination of the collections as well as various exciting activities and lectures. See more under the Coastal Museum's activities.
Bangsbo Hovedgård is located in a scenic area in Bangsbo ådal surrounded by park, botanical garden, Boelsens Stenhave and the zoo with forest and nature playground.
One ticket - 4 museums
Not everyone knows this, but when you buy a ticket to Bangsbo Fort, you also get access to the other museums under the North Jutland Coastal Museum; the coastal museums in Skagen, Sæby and Bangsbo. Your ticket is even valid for a whole week, so you can easily visit all four museums during your holiday.
