The Museum at Sønderborg Castle

Sønderborg Castle is the setting for many historical events. At the castle you can experience princely chambers from the 16th century, including the great knight's hall and Queen Dorothea's chapel, which is the oldest preserved Renaissance room in the Nordic region.

The castle also has exhibitions of historical collections, especially the history of Southern Jutland after 1800, as well as the Schleswig Wars, the Reunification in 1920, World War I and cultural history, especially from Sundeved and the island of Als.

You can take a break at the café in the old castle kitchen. Here you can enjoy refreshments and light lunches, as well as freshly brewed coffee and homemade cake, such as sønderjysk brødtort (Danish rye bread layer cake). When the sun is shining, you can also enjoy your meal under the open sky in the castle courtyard. During the winter months, from October to March, the café is open from 11am to 4pm, whilst for the rest of the year it follows the castle’s opening hours.

The museum shop is located in connection with the ticket office and offers a wide selection of historical literature and souvenirs.
