Munkebo Miniby
A look at the old Munkebo in mini size
At Bakkely 50, Munkebo has an exciting little attraction that is worth a visit. It is a mini-city which consists of approx. 100 mini-houses, down to the detail, are exact copies of the houses from the old Munkebo fishing village, as it looked in 1956 before the establishment of the Lindøværftet created a stir in the small community. The exhibition also includes a board exhibition which tells the whole story of the area from past to present.
It is possible to visit the workshop during working hours, where a group of unpaid, active seniors work on the small mini houses.
The workshop is open to visitors during opening hours when staff are present. There is no admission charge, but donations are very welcome.
