The Degerby Igor Museum tells about the eleven years when the Porkkala area including Degerby was leased to the Soviet Union as a naval base. The village council of Degerby opened the museum in 1997. Today the museum consists of two buildings: the old red outhouse that was restored in 2002 and the yellow house, village office Rosenberg that served as the municipal hall of Degerby until the fall of 1944.
