Moseløkken Quarry Museum

Try your hand at granite carving at Moseløkken Quarry Museum

Have you ever tried carving Bornholm granite? At Moseløkken Quarry Museum near Hammershus, you can pick up the tools yourself and experience a craft that has shaped Bornholm for generations.

In the old quarry, you can watch stonemasons demonstrate traditional techniques, explore the old stonecutters’ sheds and see the large, restored stone crane.

Inside Moseløkkehuset, exhibitions featuring old tools, sculptures and models tell the story of life as a stoneworker and Bornholm’s history as an island of granite.

The museum is set amid the rugged rocky landscape of North Bornholm, where you can also enjoy views of the quarry and the surrounding natural scenery.

An experience for children and adults alike who want to get closer to Bornholm’s history – and perhaps discover for themselves just how hard it is to carve granite.
