Eriksens Plads
Sheltered behind Marstal's large boulder pier, built voluntarily by the sailors, lies Eriksens Plads (square) with Eriksens Værft (shipyard), where Marstal Søfartsmuseum (maritime museum) has moved in.
Eriksens Plads is something of seedbed for wooden shipbuilding, and here you will find a partially constructed schooner that stands as a sculptural symbol of the comprehensive shipyard activity that has dominated the town.
The boat-builder’s hall is open when the doors are open, and the motor shed is open when the motor is running. The whole area is a delightful little oasis with a barbecue site, benches and tables.
