  Ringkøbing Museum

  0.97 km

  Ringkøbing Town is an idyllic market town from the 1400s, where you will find charming paved streets, beautiful old town houses and grocery stores, which together save on history from and bygone times. At Ringkøbing Museum you can experience exciting exhibitions, guide tours and visit the cozy museum shop.

  Exhibitions about World War II

  "Flyvere i natten (Aviators of the Night)” is an exhibition that makes you aware of the history of the English bombers, the Lancastere, who flew over the west coast of Denmark during World War II. The focal point of the exhibition is a large 1:1 scale recreation of a Lancaster. Through the audio, film, original objects and large format images, the exhibition tells us about the planes that crashed, their missions and about the people behind.

  At the museum you can also see a mini-exhibition: ”Hvad bunkeren gemte - en tysk soldat fortæller (What the bunkers hid - a German soldier tells)”. Most German bunkers were abandoned and emptied in 1945 or shortly thereafter, but some of them was completely covered with sand and remained untouched until after a storm appeared at Søndervig in 2008.

  In the exhibition you enter the reconstructed bunker and can see the film about the German soldier Gerhard Saalfeld. During the war he lived in the "lost" piles and several of the exhibited items belonged to him.

  City exhibition

  200 years of town hall history have been attempted at the Ringkøbing Museum at the Judges Office in the exhibition: ”Byens hus – amtets hus (The city house - the county house)".

  At the Judges Office you can also experience the old market town depicted in paintings from around the year 1800. The city exhibition is a great starting point for a city walk around the streets - where many of the houses still stand.

  12.8 km

  Helligånds Church in Hvide Sande was built in 1954 after many years of diligent collection work among the city's citizens.

  The church is built of yellow bricks in late Romanesque style, and is probably one of the last churches built in this style in Denmark. The church has a choir over a high basement, and the nave has heavy buttresses at the eastern corners.

  Inside, the church walls are whitewashed, and have flat beamed ceilings. At the altar there is a large and smooth oak cross, and the candlesticks were made by the then lock master C. Gerhardt. The rug in front of the altar bears the inscription "Give God's peace its proper sound", and was embroidered in 1981 by 27 women from Hvide Sande.

  In the church hangs the church ships "Fanny" hung in 1954, and the votive ship the fishing cutter "Jenny Skomager" hung in 2004. Votive ship is the term for a faithful copy of a sunken ship, and was built by a surviving sailor and donated to the church.

  The church's oldest bell is from 1954, and bears the inscription: "Give God's peace its proper sound". It is in memory of P.M. Møller, and Wife Anna Hansdatter. The new bell is from 2008, and bears the inscription: “I call between sea and fjord, everyone came from the south and north. When you hear my complaint, it is a memory of eternity long”. The bell was donated by A.P. Møller and wife Chastine Mc-Kinney Møllers Fond for public purposes.
