Sneglehuset — Attraction in Lemvig Municipality

Can only advise people to stay away from this place! Just go to the ocean next door but do not support this place.

Why? We were a family of 5... 2 seniors, a mum, dad and 6 year old child and we were simply standing outside when an old angry man came out from the "Sneglehuset" and rushed at us. He then aggressively told us he would slap us around if we touched the sea shells embedded in the wall...! He yelled something about someone had stolen his glass baubles earlier... We had done nothing and had just arrived 10 seconds prior. We simply stood there admiring the shells and listening to one to see if we could hear the sea. There were no reason for him to act so insanely. If someone who knows him reads this - please tell him he scared the a small innocent girl and he came across as the most inappropriate and awful...

Meilės pažadas... 💙🐚

Alfredas Pedersenas buvo vietinis žvejys, meno mylėtojas. Jis labai mylėjo savo žmoną Paulą... Norėdamas įamžinti savo meilę ir padovanoti retą dovaną savo mylimąjąi, - jis pažadėjo jų namus papuošti taip ypatingai, kad žmonės vyktų jų pamatyti iš visų pasaulio kampelių... Vietiniai į tokį užmojį žiūrėjo skeptiškai, bet šiai dienai "Sneglehuset" kriauklių namas yra viena turistų lankomiausių vietų... Amžinos meilės pažadas buvo kruopščiai lipdomas viena kriauklė po kitos, nuo 1949 m., iki 1974 m.

Kriauklių išdėstymas sudėtingais raštais tęsiasi iki kiemo. Yra spiralių, gėlių, širdelių ir arkų. Labai malonus ir dėmesingas dabartinis sąvininkas 🙂

A promise of love... 💙🐚

Alfred Pedersen was a local fisherman, an art lover. He loved his wife Paula very much... To immortalize his love and give a rare gift to his beloved, he promised to decorate their house so special that people would come to see it from all corners of the world... The locals were skeptical about such an ambition, but to this day the "Sneglehuset" shell house is one of the most visited tourist attractions... The promise of eternal love was carefully sculpted one shell after another, from 1949 to 1974.

The arrangement of the shells in intricate patterns continues into the courtyard. There are spirals, flowers, hearts and arches. The current owner is very kind and...

It's a very cosy looking house, in what can be best described as a small village. Beautiful details on the outside, and a type of museum on the inside.

Very friendly staff are there to help you. They have a small shop, and you can get food, drinks and ice cream.

All in all a nice, unexpected little wonder in Denmark.

(P.s. there is a small parking right next to the house, but a larger one about 200 meters further in...
