City Museum / South Jutland Art Museum Description
In the 16th C. gatehouse of Tønderhus Castle, which was pulled down in 1750, and in a more recent building are housed the Tønder Museum and the South Jutland Art Museum. In the former, the municipal museum, can be seen 17th and 18th C. silverwork, lace and Dutch tiles and porcelain, as well as a "Kagmand", a wooden figure with a cane which once stood in the marketplace; at one time anyone who had committed a crime was tied to a post (kag) and publicly whipped.

In the Art Museum are exhibited works by contemporary Danish painters and sculptors.
