The Frigate Jylland

Frigate Jylland - Step Aboard History

Experience the frigate Jylland - the ship that took part in the Battle of Heligoland in 1864 and changed Denmark forever. Explore the ship and museum exhibitions, listen to our guides share stories of life on board, and step into an era marked by war and royal voyages.

Launched in 1860 as a warship with 44 cannons and a crew of 437, the Frigate Jylland sent the enemy fleeing at the Battle of Heligoland, despite being hit 18 times. It later served as a royal vessel, embarked on expeditions across the world's oceans, and was eventually restored after years as a school ship and near scrapping.

Today, the frigate is a landmark and a living museum in Ebeltoft, offering activities for the whole family.
