Frøslev Camp Museum
Frøslevlejrens Museum
A detention camp set up in Denmark during the German occupation in World War II, with well-preserved barracks and watchtowers telling the story of occupation and resistance.
Frøslev Camp was built in 1944, when the German occupation authorities held about 12,000 Danish resistance members, police officers and border gendarmes here. Some of them were sent to German concentration camps. The wooden barracks, watchtowers and barbed wire are well preserved. The museum uses personal stories to tell the story of the occupation and postwar reckoning. The camp grounds also have small exhibitions on UN peacekeeping and international humanitarian organisations. Admission is free. It is open roughly February to November and closed on Mondays. Located near Padborg, about 35 km from Sønderborg.
