This beautiful house was built by a single man who worked on it his entire long life. There is a cozy café and a small shop in the museum.

In the far west of Denmark, in Thyborøn, lies the Snail House (Sneglehuset). A unique house adorned with thousands of shells and snails. The house was created by a single man who, in 1949 at the age of 58, began building and decorating it. Over 25 years, the house became Alfred's life's work, and in 2019 it celebrated its 70th anniversary.
The house contains two exhibitions.

For 25 DKK (adults) you can visit the Sneglehuset Museum. It's quite small and consists of two rooms: a room where you can watch a film about the making of Sneglehuset (in Danish or German) and an exhibition room with lots of shell details, which is lovingly designed.
