Kulturværftet
The Culture Yard
The newest addition to the city's cultural life is an interesting modern architectural piece fitted into the old shipyard overlooking the castle. The house features two stages for the local theater and frequent concerts, an exhibition space for changing displays of contemporary art and photography, the city's main library with a small English section, internet access and various events held regularly.

Vor Frue Kloster
Carmelite Priory
Founded in 1430, and the finest example of a complete monastic complex surviving in Denmark, and one of the best in all of Scandinavia. The Carmelites were invited by the king to enhance education and knowledge in the city, and more importantly care for sick sailors passing through the city. When the order was expelled from Denmark following the reformation, it was turned into a hospital, but thorough restoration works throughout the 20th century have preserved the premises for posterity.
Closed to the public except for guided tours

Helsingør Bymuseum
City museum
Housed in a building nearly 500 years old, parts of it built by the Carmelite monks, this museum has exhibits relating partly to the early history of the house as a hospital and a lavish renaissance manor extraordinarily turning later into the city's poorhouse. The rest of the house portrays the history of the city, and the museum's piece de resistance is an amazingly accurate 1:300 scale model of Elsinore in 1801.
