For trade fairs, exhibitions and other large-scale events, the spacious workshop halls are easily accessible via the vehicle gate.

FÆNGSLET is a historic building dating back to 1853, when accessibility was not part of the original design.

To improve access, we have installed ramps, lifts and other accessibility features throughout the Prison Museum, making it possible for visitors with reduced mobility and wheelchair users to explore the exhibition areas on different levels.

Please note that the ramps leading into the building are quite steep and may be difficult to use without assistance. Our reception staff will be happy to help if needed. A few smaller rooms have narrow doorways, which may make access difficult for larger wheelchairs.

Accessible parking is available close to the main entrance, and an accessible toilet is located inside the building.

Visitors to the Prison Museum who hold a valid Companion Card may bring one companion free of charge upon presentation of the card.
