The historic warships on Holmen is the oldest Cold War museum in Denmark, situated on the historical Nyholm on the opposite side of Toldboden at the city side of Copenhagen.

At the old Naval Base “Holmen” in Copenhagen the frigate “Peder Skram”, the torpedo/missile boat “Seehested”, and the submarine “Sælen” invites everyone, who would like to know more about the work in the Danish Navy in the late half of the 20th century.

On the warships you can also learn about the work the crew performed, had their dinner and where they slept.
