The Dr.-Carl-Haeberlin-Friesenmuseum Wyk auf Föhr, often referred to as the Friesenmuseum, is a museum that specializes in natural history and ethnology. It places a particular emphasis on the history of North Frisia and the island of Föhr. This makes it an ideal destination for those interested in learning about the region's rich cultural and natural history.
The museum building itself is a testament to traditional Föhr architecture. Designed by Hamburg architect Heinrich Bomhoff, it is a brick building topped with a thatched roof. A unique feature of the museum is the two entrances to the grounds, each of which is arched by two whale jawbones. This distinctive design element adds to the museum's charm and appeal.
One of the museum's highlights is the Olesen house, the oldest dated house from Föhr, which was moved from Alkersum to Wyk in 1927. Thanks to Haeberlin's efforts, visitors can now explore this house, which dates back to 1617, on the museum grounds. The house still contains the original furnishings of a farmhouse, providing a unique glimpse into the past where people and animals lived in close quarters.
