The museum includes, Niels Lynge house. He was a priest but also a well-known painter and poet.
This house stands as it did when it was inhabited by Niels Lynge and his family, and a visit to the house gives an original insight into a private home from the 1950s and a few years later. It is an unusual and beautiful experience to enter Niels Lynge’s House. The house is open to the public by appointment
