The town of Galten

Cultural Experiences in Galten:
In Galten, you’ll find a wide range of cultural offerings. You can, for example, enjoy free summer concerts at the Torvet in Galten from mid-June to the end of August, visit Galten Library, which often hosts exhibitions, children’s events, and creative workshops, enjoy a film screening, concert, lecture, or theater performance at BIO House, or explore the town and see the many sculptures. Since 2017, there have been sculpture town exhibitions in Galten, and there are now 32 permanent works throughout the town, including artworks by H.R.H. Prince Henrik. This is made possible thanks to the support of businesses, associations, citizens, and institutions – and not least the result of the large amount of voluntary work by a number of dedicated local residents.
Also, visit Galten Church, which received an artistic upgrade in 2014 with an altarpiece, altar cloth, and ten colorful stained-glass windows designed by Peter Brandes. The church is open during daytime hours.
