Frigate Jylland

Fregatten Jylland

One of the longest wooden warships in the world, moored in a dry dock at Ebeltoft, where you can board and visit the gun deck.

Jylland is a wooden steam screw frigate launched in 1860, about 71 metres long. It took part in the Battle of Heligoland in 1864 and is now preserved in the dry dock at Ebeltoft harbour. Visitors can board to see the gun deck, crew quarters and officers' cabins, and can also tour the dry dock beneath the hull. Ebeltoft itself is a storybook small town with a glass museum. It is about 50 minutes' drive from Aarhus, or you can take a ferry.
