A very interesting museum with many steam and diesel locomotives of various sizes. A volunteer spontaneously offered a guided tour around the museum and a free draisine ride. Definitely worth a visit if you have any interest on the topic.

A nice foray into the world of locomotives. Small but enough to see and wonder about, also other paraphernalia and things from the past in addition to locomotives. An hour is probably a good time to start here.

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.
