Museum, inn and waffle garden

Gamla Oxelösund is where the town began as a pilot station, sea inn and fishing hamlet long before the railway and steelworks arrived. Narrow lanes, red cottages and views across the shipping lane make it a peaceful place for a coastal stroll.

The Archipelago Museum is housed in the Master Pilot’s historic home with exhibitions on island life and a traditional November Christmas gathering. During the warmer months, Skärgårdsvåfflan and Oxelö Krog also open their historic rooms and gardens.
