filter_dramaSeeRestored battle frigate Jylland, largest wooden ship in the world. Located in a large marine centre, renovating and displaying historic vessels. The world's longest wooden ship is resting its enormous keel solidly on concrete, within meters of the sea, where it once fought a battle against the Austro-Prussian fleet, on behalf of King Fredrik the 7th in 1864. Otherwise, its 25 year active life as a commissioned battle frigate of the Royal Danish Navy, the "Jylland" was mostly used to ferry royal parties throughout the Kingdom, including Greenland, and European capitals. In 1886 it made its last of 5 cruises across the Atlantic to the Danish West indian islands of St.Thomas, St.Croix and St. John, at which time it had been rebuilt to become a Royal Vessel and the 15 ton canon in the royal dining room was removed, having been part of the total compliment of 30 canons on board. From 1925, the once mighty pride of Denmark, had a varied life, serving variously as accommodation for students and barracks for soldiers. By 1974 it had gone through no less then five preservation committee's, the last of which, had it towed across Kattegat to Ebeltoft, where it sat rotting further until 1984. After a nationwide fund-raising campaign and a five year rebuilding, the result is a unique monument to a proud seafaring nation. The multi million dollar job practically handbuild all woodwork, including righting the warped keel with a technically challenging method. The Jylland now stands in all it's 3-master glory as a part of a major marine complex along the waterfront which is part of Ebeltoft city center, and includes other vessels of historic value.
*'City Hall Many come year round to get married in the historic city hall and have pictures taken with the uniformed night watchmen, who commence their evening walk-around at sundown, with lanterns and cat'o'nine tails, from the old stone steps, flanked by canons. Until Jylland's resurrection ceremony in 1995, the spired city hall was the City hallmark, but other reasons attracted visitors, one being the year round exhibitions of modern Glass Art, located in the old custom house, but several glass artists have set up studio's in town and have their own exhibitions. Another "must see" site is Farvergaarden (the old dye-works) with its original courtyard buildings and lovely garden.
*Farvergården, the old dye work with buildings and all implements of dying cloth and yarn.
*Glass museum/ Glass Art Exhibition, is also part of the marine complex with frigate Jylland and historic ship restoration work shops.
*Of note in this charming town, are the cobblestoned streets and stuccoed half timbered houses, maintained carefully.
*Mols Bjerge (the Hills of Mols) area has just been designated a National Park, by the Danish Government.January 2008.
*Ree Park - Ebeltoft Safari, big zoological park in beautiful nature near Ebeltoft. The newest exhibit is a 1 hectare big lion enclosure.
