Fregatten Jylland is a historic naval vessel from 1860—built for war, used as a royal ship, and preserved as a museum. Today it lies at the quay in Ebeltoft, where you can move through the ship’s many decks and experience sailors’ life, craftsmanship, and maritime technology from a pivotal period in Denmark’s history—the Schleswig Wars.
Oplevelser for både børn og voksne
Gå ombord på Fregatten Jylland og lad og lad 1800-tallets stormfulde Europa strømme ind over dig, når museets engagerede guider fortæller gribende beretninger om store søslag og togter til fjerne kyster.
Let the children explore with the ship’s boy Karl, who has lost his pocketknife somewhere on board. Undervejs møder du skibets besætning som topgast Niels, prinsesse Thyra, kanonér Bjørnson og skibslæge Melchior, som hver især fortæller fantasifulde historier – og måske kan du spotte, om nogen af dem gemmer på en hemmelighed eller er en rigtig skibsrotten tyv?
Fregatten Jylland byder desuden på spændende særudstillinger, som kaster lys over søfartens kulturhistorie og livet på havet – noget for både nysgerrige børn og voksne.
Sailing trip in Ebeltoft Bay
In the summer months, you can head out on Ebeltoft Bay in the museum’s open rowing-and-sailing boat—a sailboat with room for 12 people. Herfra får du et smukt blik på både fregatten og Ebeltoft havn.
Living craftsmanship
The museum’s craftspeople maintain the frigate year-round with traditional ship carpentry, rope-making, and tarring. Det betyder, at du også kan opleve arbejdet på nært hold og få indsigt i, hvordan et historisk krigsskib holdes sejlklart.
Shop and restaurant
Also stop by the museum shop, which offers a selection of maritime gifts and classic souvenirs. Og når benene trænger til en pause, kan I nyde et godt måltid eller en kold drik på Brasserie 1864 – et stenkast fra skibet.
Facts about the frigate
Fregatten Jylland is 102 metres long and has a deck width of around 14 metres. The masts rise more than 50 metres into the air, and the hull extends almost 6 metres below the waterline. Today the ship stands on land in a dry dock, making it possible to walk all the way around it and truly sense its impressive size—both inside and out.
