EXPLORE NÄSTVED MUSEUM
The door to Næstved's rich history opens at the entrance to the Helligåndshuset. The building, which today houses Næstved Museum, can be traced back to the Middle Ages and is the only preserved Holy Spirit House in Denmark. Over time, it has functioned as a hospital, nursing home, workhouse and military hospital, before it was converted into a museum in 1927. Step inside and experience a house where history still lives within its walls.
At Næstved Museum you can stand face to face with the executioner in a room with skeletons, axes and chains and experience the city's medieval history up close.
