Biography in relation to Skagen

Søren Pedersen came to Skagen in 1820, where he built Skagen's first Dutch mill in the years 1822-25.

In 1825 Søren was married to Kirsten in December and already in January Ane Hedevig was born, who later became madam Brøndum.

Søren builds a very famous building

Inspired by teacher Høms house, which is known today as Drachmann House, Søren Møllebygger built his new house west of Toldergaarden - it would later become known as "Madam Bendsens Gård". The farm was built in the period 1833-42 by the mill builder Søren Pedersen, who sold the farm to the merchant Jens Ole Bendsen in 1849. Artists such as Viggo Johansen and P.S. Krøyer later rented the farm and Laurits Tuxen later bought the property. The farm is known today as Tuxen's Villa.

In 1844-45 he built his second mill - Skagen Sawmill - next to the aforementioned mill.

Financial crisis for daughter and son-in-law

In 1846, the daughter Ane Hedvig married the merchant Erik Brøndum (arranged marriage). But soon after Erik and Ane ran into financial difficulties and Søren Møllebygger had to sell all his properties to help the couple.

In return, he received a deed to the garden house, which he moved into and immediately began to renovate.

In 1852 he moved to Lodskovad Mølle, which he had helped to build, and the garden house was designated an emergency hospital - a cholera hospital. Søren waived rent.

After 4 years in Lodskovad they returned to the Garden House. Their son Martin had become an apprentice in agriculture, Christian was prospecting for gold in Australia, Lars was well established at Øster Thirup near Hjørring, Johan Henrik had finally finished his studies (they had almost ruined Søren and Kirsten) and he now had a job in the Ministry of Culture. Søren had made good money from the sale of Lodskovad and was now quite wealthy.

In 1857 he built a grain drying house, which is still in the garden of Skagen Museum.

The Rescue Service

On 1 May 1858, he took up the post of head of Skagen's rescue station and supervisor of the rescue service's board in Skagen. Søren resigned from his position as supervisor on 29 November 1865 after a dispute with customs officer Walther, who blamed him for his work and the accident at the Dahpne shipwreck in 1862 (8 rescuers died).

Co-initiator of the establishment of the "Sparekassen for Skagen og Omegn" in 1862 and was the savings bank's first bookkeeper and treasurer until 1875.

For a period he was Skagen town's chamberlain. Declined to receive the Order of the Danish Bridge from the King for his meritorious lifetime service.

When his son Lars died, Søren brought his grandchildren Martha and Henriette to Skagen, where they lived in the Garden House.

The last family event Søren attended was Anna Brøndum's confirmation, where Michael Ancher was also present. It is seen
