Klokketårnet
Clock tower
The clock tower is an iconic central landmark, close to the high street and harbour. It has great views of the town from the top of the tower. Its history dates back to the Middle Ages. The corresponding church was dismantled in the renaissance. The tower has melodic bell chimes which can be heard all through town. Every evening, during the summer months, from 21:00 to 22:00, it is possible to walk around the streets with the night watchmen. They dress in black, in their hands they have carry a mace and a bundle of keys. Instead of keeping order in the streets during the night, they are guides telling stories about the town's history. They can also be heard singing traditional folk melodies. It is free, but it is possible to give a monetary donation. The guided tour starts and finishes at the clock tower.
