Fanø Museum of Arts in Sønderho has specialised in the so-called Fanø painters. Same as Skagen has Fanø and especially Sønderho attracted many artists, e.g. Julius Exner, Reinhard Heinemann and Ortwin Nøbbe. In1992 the Fanø Museum of Art was opened in the Kromanns House. In the past this house used to be a factory and a shop. The latter used to be in that part of the museum which today is the entrance area. Besides the constant exhibition there are regular special exhibitions in the summer term, all with artists which have a connection with Fanø.
The mill in Sønderho was built in 1895. It was renovated and has the same look at it used to have when it was built. Every year in mid-July the Sønderho Day is celebrated in front of the mill. There are still many people who wear the old Fanø costumes at that occasion.
Hannes House is a skipper house which was built in the 1750’s. The house is well-preserved and looks the same as in the old days so that one could believe that the skipper and his wife have only just left the house. Here you still find the old furniture, pictures, boxes for sheep and the things that the skipper brought home from his journeys.
The Old Lifeboat Station: The Lifeboat was essential for the community at the North Sea. It has been standing at the Lifeboat Station sind 1889. It was dragged by horses. At the Old Lifeboat Station you find descriptions of dangerous rescue operation around Sønderho and information on the history of the Danish rescue.

Sønderho Church The close connection to the maritime town Sønderho is mainly formed by this church. It is the church in Denmark with the most church model ships – altogether 15. The baroque altarpiece is from 1717 and the pulpit from 1661. The gallery has its original colour from 1782. The Sønderho Church is a “hall church” with orginially space for 800 people. The unique construction of the banks and the positioning of the pulpit makes this church a sight. Services in Danish usually take place every Sunday at 10 am.
