Immerse yourself in the rich history and culture
Immersion in the rich history and culture begins with the contemplation of the imposing 15 m long skeleton of a sperm whale, followed by a journey through the times of dangerous whaling, which cost the lives of many brave men. In an authentic 18th-century Gulfhaus, where people and animals once lived under one roof, you'll be surrounded by exhibits such as an old sea rescue ship and a wide variety of bird species. The loving care of locals gives the whole thing a personal touch, while changing exhibitions always tell new stories.
