A national centre for preservation and restauration of historic ships built of steel - both as a living engineering workshop and as a museum. In addition of being a national steel-ship restauration-centre, we are also one of fifteen industrial heritage-centres in Norway. Take part on a fascinating exploration under and over, inside and outside the old ships and our buildings and listen to accounts of the work in progress.

Søgne Gamle Prestegard er et av Sørlandets fineste tun. Stedet har røtter tilbake i før-kristen tid og har vært sentrum i Søgne i hundrevis av ar. Garden heter Søgne og har gitt navn til kommunen. I dag er det kultursenter og Søgne Gamle Prestegard ønsker a være et møtested, og reisemal hele aret, hvor arrangement, kunstutstillinger og naturopplevelse blir deler av en helhetsopplevelse. Bygningsmassen er velegnet til kurs, konferanser og selskap. Omgivelsene er lune og samtidig apne og varierte. I hagen star det en byste av Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, og flere kunstverk er plassert i omradet. Søgne Gamle Prestegard er et flott utgangspunkt for turer rundt Tjomsevannet eller til Bygdeborgen.
5. The Dutch Town
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 32 reviews
This old part of the town got its name from the extensive trade with Holland fram the 1600th until the 1800th centrury. There are few traces left behind from those times. The Dutch came to Flekkefjord to buy timber and rocks. Rumour has it that rocks from Flekkefjord is found under Schippol airport in Amsterdam! This cosy town area, with whitewashed wodden houses, picket fences and lush gardens is a result of the rich herring fishing that took place in the early years of the 19th century. Take a stroll through the narrow lanes and soak up the old history.
6. Vigeland Hus
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 5 reviews
The childhood home of the artists Gustav and Emanuel Vigeland. Gustav Vigeland is perhaps the more famous of the brothers, having produced the sculptures for the Vigeland Sculpture Park in Oslo. Their childhood home is typical of craftsmen’s houses in “old Mandal”, and a guided tour will give you a unique insight into the childhood and artistic development of the brothers.
