The Mansion, Augustiana
Various concerts are on during summer

’En Søndag på Als’ in mid-August. At
www.visitsonderborg.com you can

our area.
One of the country’s largest sculpture
parks – Augustiana - lies in the
northern part of the palace garden,
which is open to visitors. Read more
about Augustiana Sculpture Park and
Art Centre on p. 56.
The Psychiatric Museum tells the
story of the development in treatment
of mentally ill people through
the more than 80 years where parts
of the palace have been used as a
psychiatric hospital. See p. 52.
In the Mini Museum at the bell
tower you can gain an insight into the
history of the ducal family. See p. 52.
Augustenborg Churchyard lies
around 750 metres from the church
at the corner of Stavenbølsgade, Parkgade
and Møllegade. It was opened
in 1848 when Ketting Churchyard
had become too small for the fallen
in the Three Year War, that lasted from
1848-1850. Today there are 69 graves
and one common grave from the two
Slesvig wars. The churchyard is listed.
Sebbe Als was built in 1967-69 as a
true copy of the Viking ship ‘Wreck 5’
from the finds in Skullelev at Roskilde
Fjord. The ship was built on the basis
of drawings of the original ship and
with the same type of tools as the ‘old’
Vikings used. Sebbe Als was launched
in 1969, and you can see the ship
during Rum Regatta in Sønderborg.
Ketting Cove lies by the shortcut between
Sebbelev and Egen. This area of
natural beauty has a rich birdlife, and
along the southern side of the cove
you can follow a small path to a bird
sanctuary with a tower hide, but do
put on your Wellingtons. You can fish
in the western part at the dike. Read
more on p. 36-39.
