Museet er indrettet i Pier House, der tidligere blev brugt til handel med tyskerne og eksport af tørret og saltet fisk til Hanseforbundet, der havde monopollignende magt over handel i og omkring Østersøen og store dele af Nordeuropa i årene 1200 til 1600-tallet.[1] Tyskeren bragte deres varer i form af jernværktøjer, korn, salt og klæde for at få tørret og saltet fisk med retur.[1] Hanseforbundets gamle hus, der var blevet brugt ind til 1707 blev ombygget til museum, og indeholder i dag genstande fra hansetiden og andre genstande med relation til øernes økonomi i perioden.[1][2]

Bygningen er opført i sten og er to etager med en stentrappe på ydersiden.[3] Huset og havnen hvor den ligger er listed buildings i kategori B.
