Atttractions

Midtåsen Sculpture Pavilion
On a hill out the outskirts of the town centre, is the Midtåsen sculpture pavilion and sculpture park, featuring a selection of the works by Knut Steen in marble and bronze. It features twelve marble sculptures inside and four bronze sculptures outside. The sculpture park was opened in the summer of 2009.

Anders Jahre´s Villa – adjacent to the sculpture pavilion
The beautiful former home of shipping magnate and philanthropist Anders Jahre is now owned by the municipality of Sandefjord. The house, which sits in 15 acres of grounds (Midtåsen), was built in the 1930s and designed by the renowned Norwegian architect Arnstein Arneberg.

Kurbadet – Norway´s first Spa
Sandefjord became renowned in Europe in the middle of the 1800s as a centre for medicinal baths. Sandefjord Bad was opened as a health resort in 1837, and both royalty and well-known figures from the arts world were among the guests at the spa. The resort remained in operation up until the Second World War. The Old Spa is today used for culture and banqueting rooms.

Bathing Park in Sandefjord
With the sculpture "Poseidon" at the centre, Badeparken today is like a great, green lung located at the centre of Sandefjord, with trees and beautiful plants, and a beautiful setting for both games and recreation. During the spa era, the park surrounded the then established Society Building.
