Fiskertorvet
Fiskertorvet, Algade/Søndergade/Pindborggade
Fisherman's Square
Historie
Fiskertorvet var 1800 tallets centrum i Sæby. Byen var rykket fra klostertorvet mod vest.
Omkring fiskertorvet ses bygninger fra flere tidsaldre. Konsul Ørums Gård er en købmandsgård med elementer fra 16-1700-tallet. Her har været privat bolig, magasiner, bryggergård, købmandsgård, og i 1890'erne boede her konsul Ørum, der også er beskrevet af Bang i Sommerglæder.
I fløjen langs Algade lå en beværtning, der fik tilnavnet Unter den Linden på grund af de store lindetræer.
Købmandsgårdene på den anden side af Søndergade er typisk 1800-tal.
På hjørnet af Søndergade og Algade er byens første toetagers bygning siden renæssancens rådhus faldt sammen.
(Bemærk at der står 1926 på gavlen af selve hjørnet, den er nyere, det er bygningen i Algade, der er den ældste del.)
Fra 1900-tallet ses de tidstypiske bygninger i den ny handelsgade, Vestergade, med butikker i førstesalen, bolig på anden sal, og værksteder og småindustrier i side – og baghuse.
Pindborggade var bagsiden, industrigaden, mens Vestergade blev den fine handelsgade. Igen rykkede byen mod Vest, og de Store Torv etableredes ud for Hotel Harmonien. Det var her Ibsen boede under sit besøg i Sæby.
Ved torvet opførtes også en borgerskole, i dag Boghandel, der gav navn til Skolegade
History
Fiskertorvet was the centre of Sæby in the 1800s. The town had moved from Klostertorvet to the west.
Around the Fishermen's Square, buildings from several eras can be seen. Konsul Ørums Gård is a merchant's farm with elements from the 16-1700s. It has been a private residence, warehouses, brewery, merchant's farm, and in the 1890s Consul Ørum lived here, who is also described by Bang in Sommerglæder.
In the wing along Algade there was an inn, nicknamed Unter den Linden because of the large lime trees.
The merchants' houses on the other side of Søndergade are typical 19th-century buildings.
At the corner of Søndergade and Algade is the city's first two-storey building since the Renaissance town hall collapsed.
(Note that it says 1926 on the gable of the corner itself, it is newer, it is the building in Algade that is the oldest part.)
From the 1900s, the typical buildings of the time can be seen in the new commercial street, Vestergade, with shops on the first floor, housing on the second floor, and workshops and small industries in side and rear buildings.
Pindborggade was the back, industrial street, while Vestergade became the fine commercial street. Again the town moved westwards, and the Great Square was established next to the Hotel Harmonien. This was where Ibsen lived during his visit to Sæby.
At the square was also built a citizen's school, today a bookshop, which gave its name to Skolegade
