Absolutely worth seeing and beautiful place.

Climatorium

An exhibition building in the shape of a lighthouse (handicap accessible). Here you can find information about the country, people, nature and the Second World War. Everything is very nice and designed medial. There is also a toilet here.

Happens again and again. The power of nature.

The port is very beautiful. But unfortunately the water sometimes rises higher. You need protection there.

The new flood protection in the port of Lemvig "Le Mur" was inaugurated on December 16, 2012. "Le Mur" is an abbreviation of "Lemvig" and "mur", the Danish word for wall. At the same time, the name draws attention to the wall's function of providing protection. Le Mur protects the port and the city in the hinterland against flooding at high tide up to a height of 2.10 m above sea level in the central part of the port and up to a height of 2.45 m in the east port. Before Le Mur there was a wooden flood defense from 2000, but it was worn out and only protected against floods up to a height of 1.74 m at the lowest point. After several extreme flood situations in the first decade of this century, including the January storm in 2005 with floods of up to 1.84 m, it gradually became clear that a new, higher and more durable solution is required. Le Mur stretches across the central port square, opening up a space for parking and recreational development. In addition, the wall was equipped with tables and benches. At the fish shop, it becomes a ramp into the shop and a platform for the historic mountain railway. The ceramic mosaic decorations on the wall were made by fine art classes from Lemvig Municipality's elementary schools. There are openings in the wall at the alleys leading to the city's pedestrian zone, which ensures the view between the port and the city under normal conditions. In the event of extreme flood warnings, the openings are closed manually by gates hanging from the wall. Any waves crashing over the wall are handled by pumps.

1. Unusual Marriage Behavior On Saturday November 23, 1963, the bride Grete Holm had to balance on a footbridge over the flooded Østergade. It became a run-in and photographers from the country's photo magazines were on hand. 2. Unlucky parking Lemvig's east harbor turned out to be a bad parking lot on Dec. 3-4, 1999. At that time one of the most violent storms devastated Denmark and flooding hit Lemvig. 3. Corridor in the auction room In 1965, the fish boxes had to be emptied in a hurry when a mixture of salt and sewage sludge rose up in the large fish auction hall by the water. 4. intruder On December 5, 2013, storm Bodil hit the port of Lemvig. It smashed the port's west breakwater and when the storm subsided left 6 boats sunken. 5. Tourist attraction In the 1960s, the frequent floods in Lemvig were a tourist attraction, attracting motorists from large parts of Jutland to 'Sunday drives'. Some were also allowed to demonstrate the vintage car on the same occasion. 6. All men to the pumps During the major floods in the 1960s, the civil defense stepped in with its large pumps. They could absorb 2,000 liters of water per minute. The civil defense also helped lay sandbags and walkways. 7. Post gondola After a violent westerly storm soaked the mail on October 18, 1967, it was hauled out in a rowboat. It was unusual for the postman to get help from civil defense. 8. Vehicles in the city streets When the water receded, a major cleanup often awaited. Boats, fishing boxes and other things were scattered across the harbor area and sometimes as far as the church square. 9. Where is the harbor edge? The fishmonger had to be visited in rubber boots or waders, and entering the harbor at high tide could be dangerous as the quay wall was difficult to see. 10. Forward with the trowel Many doors along the harbor promenade were not secured with a shutter, which was able to keep some of the vandals out. Merchant Søe's shop was particularly vulnerable as the entrance was low. 11. A thirsty soul The sight of all that water can make you thirsty. Here a rowboat is moored at the Girls' Staircase, one of the town's taverns.

Dry dock in Lemvig at the harbor, here the ships get a new shine. :-)
