Byfoged Lund
En byfoged var en kongelig udpeget tjenestemand, som fungerede som borgmester, politimester og dommer. Herud over var byfoged Ole Christian Lund også sandflugtskommisær.
Da et amerikansk skib tidligt i 1800-tallet strander ved Skagen, kommer kaptajnen som traditionen byder, til at bo hos byfoged Lund. De falder godt i snak i løbet af de måneder, hvor kaptajnen måtte vente på hjemtransport, blandt andet om slavehold i South Carolina og om hvordan Lund vil plante træer omkring sit hus for at dæmpe sandflugten.
Kaptajnen får omsider transport hjem og de skilles som gode venner.
Næste vinter lægger en båd til ved Skagen og fire mand og en passager ror ind til stranden, hvor passageren står af.
De fiskere, som gik manden i møde, blev rædselslagen ved synet og troede at dette måtte være djævlen selv. De havde aldrig set en sort mand tidligere.
Fyrpasseren, som var lidt mere oplyst (!), kontaktede manden og fandt et brev om halsen på ham som fortalte at dette var en gave til byfoged Lund.
Jan Leton, slave fra de vest indiske øer, født 1775 blev og arbejdede hos byfoged Lund indtil sin død - dog ikke som slave.
Krøyers Hus
P.S. Krøyer og Marie lejede fra 1891 til 1984 Madam Bendsens hus i Vesterby, hvor tidligere Viggo Johansen og fru Martha havde boet til leje og som Laurits Tuxen senere køber og bygger om til Dagminne.
I 1894 fik Krøyer mulighed for at leje den gamle længe ved byfoged C.F. Dahlerups byfogedgård og han fik arkitekt Ulrik Plesner til at stå for renovering og ombygning.
Marie Krøyer stod for interiøret som møbler, stole, puder og dekorative vinduesrammer.
Trappegelænderet var oprindeligt det orginale korgitter fra Den Tilsandede Kirke, men nu er det kun en kopi. Det originale befinder sig på Kystmuseet Skagen.
I sommeren 1895 kunne parret så flytte ind i huset som P.S. Krøyer boede i indtil sin død i 1909. (Han var tidligere blevet skilt fra Marie og hun var flyttet til Sverige med Hugo Alfven.
Efter Krøyers død blev huset brugt til udstilling - Skagens Museum.

Byfoged Lund
A byfoged was a royal appointed official who acted as mayor, police chief and judge. In addition, the bailiff Ole Christian Lund was also a sand flight commissioner.
When an American ship ran aground at Skagen in the early 1800s, the captain, as is tradition, came to stay with Lund. They have a good chat during the months when the captain had to wait for repatriation, including about slaveholdings in South Carolina and how Lund will plant trees around his house to stem the tide of sand.
The captain finally gets transport home and they part as good friends.
The next winter, a boat docks at Skagen and four men and a passenger row in to the beach, where the passenger gets off.
The fishermen who went to meet the man were terrified at the sight and thought this must be the devil himself. They had never seen a black man before.
The lighthouse keeper, who was a little more enlightened (!), contacted the man and found a letter around his neck telling him that this was a gift to Lund, the town bailiff.
Jan Leton, a slave from the West Indies, born in 1775, stayed and worked with Lund until his death - though not as a slave.
Krøyer's House
From 1891 to 1984, P.S. Krøyer and Marie rented Madam Bendsen's house in Vesterby, where Viggo Johansen and Mrs Martha had previously lived, and which Laurits Tuxen later bought and converted into Dagminne.
In 1894 Krøyer was given the opportunity to rent the old long house by the town bailiff C.F. Dahlerup's town bailiff's farm, and he commissioned architect Ulrik Plesner to renovate and rebuild it.
Marie Krøyer was responsible for the interior, including furniture, chairs, cushions and decorative window frames.
The stair railing was originally the original choir screen from the Church of the Holy Spirit, but now it is only a copy. The original is in the Skagen Coastal Museum.
In the summer of 1895 the couple moved into the house in which P.S. Krøyer lived until his death in 1909. (He had earlier divorced Marie and she had moved to Sweden with Hugo Alfven.
After Krøyer's death the house was used for an exhibition - Skagens Museum.

Byfoged Lund
1809 the town bailiff Ole Lund had this house built. A town bailiff was a royal appointed civil servant, who was both mayor, chief of police and judge. Bailiff Lund was also sand drift commisioner.
At that time many ships stranded here and many sailors drowned. But some survived, and survivors often had to stay in Skagen for a long period of time untill they could go home.
On winter an american ship stranded. The captain survived and came to stay at the bailiff. They talked a lot and became good friends. Both were sad when the captain had to leave.
Next winter at ship anchored outside Skagen and a small boat was rowed in. There was no port or harbour. A man was set of at the shore.
The fishermen approached the man, but they were terrified when they saw him. They thought that it must have been the devil himself. They had never seen or even hear of a black man.
The lighthouse keeper was a little more enlightened (ha, ha) and he went over to the man and saw that he had a sign around his neck saying: "For bailiff Lund"
The captain had sent a slave as a gift to the bailiff. Jan Leton - former slave from The West Indian Islands. Jan Leton became the servant of bailiff Lund and helped him plant the trees for this plantation. One of the first succesful attempts to plant trees in the dune landscape.
Ole Lund and Jan Leton is buried side by side at our cemetery
Krøyer's HouseFrom 1891 to 1894 Marie and P.S. Krøyer rented Madam Bendsen's farm in Skagen’s West Town, where Martha and Viggo Johansen had previously been renting, and Lauritz Tuxen would later buy and name "Dagminne"
In 1894, the Krøyers were allowed to rent the old wing, and they had architect Ulrik Plesner put in charge of the renovation and modernization of the house.
Marie Krøyer was responsible for a large part of the interior decoration, for instance, she designed furniture, including several chairs, pillow cases and decorative window frames for the house.
The banister is a copy of the original banister. The original banister was made from the choir grid (now kept at Skagen museum of local history) from the buried Church.
In the summer of 1895 the couple moved in and P.S. Krøyer lived in the house for various periods of time until his death in 1909.
After Krøyers dead, the house was used as museum for the painters.
