Ulrik’s Clock Museum – A Journey Through Tick and Tock

In the heart of Hirtshals, at Mikkelsgade 13B, lies a hidden gem for both locals and tourists: Ulrik’s Clock Museum. This unique museum houses an impressive collection of over 3,560 clocks in all imaginable sizes and styles, with the oldest dating back to the 16th century.

The museum was founded by Ulrik Vingborg, a passionate clock enthusiast who has dedicated his life to collecting and preserving these timepieces. Ulrik, now 86 years old, received his first clock at the age of 12 and has been collecting for over 50 years. In 2099, he opened the doors of the museum to share his remarkable collection with the public.

The collection is incredibly diverse and offers a fascinating insight into the evolution of clocks throughout the centuries. Visitors can experience everything from classic grandfather clocks to quirky pocket watches, each with its own unique story.

Ulrik’s Clock Museum is open to visitors every Friday and Saturday from 9 AM to 5 PM. For those wishing to visit outside of these hours, it is possible to arrange an appointment by contacting Ulrik directly at +45 2043 3214.

One visitor described the museum as a "charming little museum in a former house of prayers," where clocks in all shapes and sizes cover the walls from floor to ceiling. The entrance fee is a modest 20 DKK, payable via MobilePay.

For those planning a trip to Hirtshals, Ulrik’s Clock Museum is an attraction not to be missed. It offers a unique journey through the passage of time and stands as a testament to one man's dedication to the world of clocks.
