  • As local museums go, this is one of the nicest I have visited and the only bad thing about it is the total lack of information in English. As with many things on Bornholm, it is geared for visitors from Scandinavia, Poland and Germany, so my English husband had to rely on what Danish he could understand from being a Swedish speaker. Nevertheless, he too enjoyed the permanent exhibitions on Bornholm's ancient history (with gold treasures, armoury, pottery, women's life, rune stones and much more) and the more modern (church art, the shipping companies, famous grandfather clock makers, Bornholm during WWII and local school life amongst others). When we visited, there was also a temporary exhibition on the now sadly closed Bornholm railways.

  • The church you see when first approaching Rønne from the sea is this little pretty one from 1275, although what you see today is mainly from a 1915-18 reconstruction. It was never a main Bornholm church like the round churches or the Aa Kirke in Aakirkeby and not even the main Rønne church in medieval days so it is hard to find tourist information about it. Until 1828 there were funerals held here but as the town crept closer, the cemetary was moved. An interesting thing is that it has not just one but TWO church ships (common in Danish churches). One is used in a procession in mid December, commemorating those lost at sea. It is then left in the harbour until New Year. You have a nice harbour view from the cliff near the sea.

  • Belonging to the Bornholm Museums exhibitions, this particular museum is dedicated to telling the story of Bornholm as occupied by the Germans and then bombed by the Russians during the last days of WWII.- Ihave not yet visited so I cannot give personal comments but had I had more time I would have visited as the Bornholm Museum itself temped me with lots of interesting stories from Roenne and Nexoe during that time.

  • Also belonging to Bornholm Museums' collection, this is a nice old townhouse from 1806, showing you a bit of old Bornholm, including an interior from the second half of the 19th century and a nice garden. There is also a shop and they host plenty of cultural activities here. I hope to visit next time.

  • Yet another famous Bornholm house, this one with a ceramics workshop and various exhibitions and activities. Again, I have not had time to visit but only passed by the house once. Their website is in Danish only, but most of you should be able to see the opening hours under "Åbningstider" (closed Sundays apart from in July-August).
