Not as much your average museum, much more locally focussed. The information in English is limited, but I would still recommend if you're interested in Bornholm stories.

Small old style museum that gives a good insight on the history of Bornholm. The collection on the archeological excavations at Sorte Muld (near Svaneke) is exceptional and contains many of the gold “gullgubben” that are found.

A really good museum for a small place. Very extensive collection and the employee kindly explained everything there was to see in detail.

A nice local museum. From ancient up to the Russian occupation. There are a few translation sheets in the rooms- those are very helpful for the non Danish speakers. Sadly the new film about the occupation has no translation.

Danmark Church

The first written record of church in Danmark locality date back to the year 1291. Close to the church are several stones with a Christian text and cross inscribed. The oldest parts of the present red-brick church are from the 1300s. In the late 1400s the church was enlarged to the appearance it has today. The church has been modified both internally and externally several times, among other things after the fires in 1699 and 1889. There are lot of well-preserved mural paintings in the walls.
