The National Museums Commanders House
(Kommandørgården) can be found a few hundred meters from the
camp site . Kommandør (Commander) ist the Dutch word for
captain. The house dates from 1748 and is fully restored,
including panels, ceilings and doors. The walls are covered
with Dutch tiles and the furnishings are for their time
extremely lavish.
The commanders sailed from Rømø and
served as captains on Dutch and German ships which sailed on
whaling expeditions to Greenland.
In the first weekend of September one of
the largest annual kite festival in Europe will be held at
the beach. Thousands of kite enthusiasts will then flock to
the beach with their fantastic colored kites.
