Solvang is a unique Dutch-themed town in the Santa Ynez Valley. Old-world Danish architecture prevails, as do several Danish bakeries. Visit the area’s Dutch windmills, the giant red clog, and local Dutch-themed museums. Solvang is home to a Hans Christen Andersen Museum, the Elverhoj Museum of History and Art, and the Amber Museum and Hall of the Danes. Historic churches in town include the Old Mission Santa Ines and the Bethania Lutheran Church. Enjoy area attractions, restaurants and wineries, made famous by the Academy Award winning movie, Sideways.
