Summer tour - Life behind bars
In the summer of 2026, the PRISON MUSEUM invites the whole family to exciting tours behind the walls of the former Horsens State Prison. Come out onto the historic prison grounds and get a unique insight into a closed world filled with dramatic escape attempts, smuggling, harsh rules and strong human destinies. Here, history comes alive right where it happened. Hear stories about the prisoners' everyday lives, the work of the prison guards, and the many stories that still hang in the walls after 153 years as an active prison.Among other things, you can hear about Carl August Lorentzen's spectacular escape through the 18-meter-long tunnel he dug under the prison yard in secret. No two tours are exactly the same. Our presenters each have their own approach, perspectives, and favorite stories, making each tour a special experience for both children and adults. The holiday tours take place outdoors on the historic prison grounds and are suitable for the whole family. Practical information Tour guide: Changing Meeting point: Prison Museum, Fussingsvej 8, 8700 Horsens Price: 50 DKK per person + entrance fee to the Prison Museum Read more on the website
