Culture and nature experiences on the tip of Denmark’s nose

In the center of the city, close to the old Malt Factory, which is now an art and culture center, is the Old Town Hall.
The beautiful half-timbered town hall was built in 1789 and is one of Ebeltoft’s many tourist attractions.
The building is now home to Museum Østjylland, which has exhibitions on two floors and is also a popular place to get married.
If you want to explore the beautiful old town, Adelgade, Overgade and Nedergade have many beautifully preserved buildings.
On Adelgade you’ll find Farvergården, which consists of an old dye house, dyer’s residence and farm buildings.
The buildings have been preserved as they were when the dye house was in operation about 100 years ago.

Activities for the adventurous in Ebeltoft

In Ebeltoft you’ll find Fregatten Jylland, a more than 160-year-old wooden ship, where you can experience history up close.
Each deck of the ship conveys a time period in the frigate’s history, from the royal saloon as it looked on the expedition to Iceland in 1874, to the banquet deck where the crew of 437 sailors worked, slept and ate in 1880.
The ship’s many stories unfold through active communication for the museum’s guests – both as guided stories and try-yourself activities for young and old.
