  Grenaa Church

  10.09 km

  The church dates from the 13th century and has since been expanded and renovated several times.

  The oldest masonry remains from the original church, date back to when the town itself was founded. It is not known what the church looked like at the time, but the church has obviously been of great importance based on its central location in the city centre.

  In 1649, the church was destroyed by a fire inside the church. What you see now is a vaulted church room built in the 1650s.

  Grenaa Kirke is consecrated to St. Gertrude, the patron saint of travelers (also of cats).

  The church is built of monk stone and granite squares. A renovation has given the church its distinctive crenellated spire (the 1870s).

  The oldest altarpiece is originally from Holmen's Kirke in Copenhagen. It was bought the city's residents and was thus saved from the fires and bombings that came to ravage Copenhagen. The church was newly restored in 2001.

  Natural area Kolindsund

  13.6 km

  Originally, Kolindsund was a large tunnel valley. Later, it became a sound that connected Grenaa to Randers. Even later, it turned into a lake. However, after Denmark lost Southern Jutland in 1864, the need for arable land became more pressing, and Kolindsund was drained.

  A walk on the old lakebed

  Today, artificial dikes and pumps ensure that the old lakebed remains dry. The pumped water flows into the straight North Channel, while the more natural drainage water flows through the much smaller but more winding South Channel. The area is rich in wildlife and a good fishing area for sea trout, pike, perch, roach, and bream.

  Frigate Jylland – a Living Museum Ship from the 19th Century

  34.88 km

  Experiences for Children and Adults Alike

  Step aboard and let Europe's turbulent 19th century wash over you as our passionate guides share gripping stories of naval battles and long voyages to distant shores.

  Children can join cabin boy Karl on a quest to find his missing pocketknife, hidden somewhere on board. Along the way, they’ll meet crew members like Topman Niels, Princess Thyra, Gunner Bjørnson, and Surgeon Melchior – each with a colourful story to tell. And who knows – maybe one of them is hiding a secret … or is a sneaky thief?

  Frigate Jylland also hosts engaging special exhibitions that shed light on maritime history and life at sea – for curious minds of all ages.

  Sailing on Ebeltoft Bay

  During summer, you can set out on Ebeltoft Bay in the museum’s open rowing boat – a traditional sailing craft with room for 12. From here, you’ll enjoy a unique view of the frigate and the harbour.

  Living Craftsmanship

  The shipwrights keep the frigate shipshape using traditional maritime crafts like timber work, rope-making, and tar sealing. Visitors can watch the work up close and learn how a historic warship is kept seaworthy – even while docked.

  Shop and Restaurant

  Stop by the museum shop for maritime gifts and classic souvenirs. And when it’s time for a break, enjoy a delicious meal or a refreshing drink at Brasserie 1864.

  Facts About the Frigate

  The frigate Jylland is 102 metres long and 14 metres wide at deck level. Its masts rise more than 50 metres into the air, and the hull extends nearly 6 metres below the waterline. Today, the ship rests on land in a dry dock, allowing visitors to walk all the way around it and truly experience its impressive scale—both inside and out.
