Frøslev Prison Camp (Frøslevlejren) is a well-preserved former German internment camp from World War II, located just south of Flensburg near the Danish border. Today, it serves as a museum and memorial, offering a sobering look at the camp's history. Visitors can walk through the original wooden barracks, see the guard towers, and view exhibits on the daily lives of prisoners and the camp's role in the Nazi regime. The site includes a memorial hall and a research center. What makes Frøslev distinctive is its relatively intact state and its focus on the Danish experience under occupation. The camp's atmosphere is stark and reflective, with informative displays that contextualize the broader war.
