A national preservation centre for steel ships The Bredalsholmen Shipyard and Preservation Centre in Kristiansand is a national preservation centre for ships built of steel which are worthy of preservation. Many old craft techniques used in steel ship building are kept alive at the centre. Active use of the old dry dock from 1876, along with the adjacent workshops, quays, cranes and other technical equipment, contribute to the preservation of the site as a technical and industrial cultural monument. 35 people are employed full-time at the centre. |
 Guided tours for the publicBredalsholmen is a living museum where the old steel craft techniques are still practised. Open all year round for guided tours of small or large groups. Contact us to arrange a date and time. |
