Havehuset

Havehuset

Havehuset fik sit navn i 1840’erne, hvor det blev en del af Brøndums gård. Indlemmelsen betød, at huset nu var placeret i haven til Brøndums gård, deraf navnet Havehuset. Siden er huset blevet anvendt til mange forskellige ting.

I sine unge dage havde det været en stald. Siden blev det forfremmet til bolig for en gammel fisker, som gemte sine penge i sengehalmen eller et par bukser. Når sedlerne blev våde, tørrede han dem på ovnen, hvilket betød at et par stykker gik op i røg. Men banken stolede han ikke på.

I 1853 blev det brugt som koleralazaret, og efter en brand i Brøndums gård i 1874 fungerede det som købmandsbutik og gæstgiveri med værelser og skænkestuer.

Da Laurits Møller i 1875 døde (i Thirup), hentede Søren Møllebygger (Ane Brøndums far) enken og børnebørne Martha og Henriette tilbage til Skagen og indlogerede dem i Havehuset.

Martha og Henriette blev siden gift med hhv. Viggo Johansen og Karl Madsen.

I 1880 flyttede det nygifte par Anna og Michael Ancher ind i Havehuset. Den østlige ende, der tidligere havde været købmandsbutik, blev indrettet som atelier, og ved den lejlighed blev det store vindue indsat i husets gavl.

Helga Ancher blev født i Havehuset i 1883. (...) Bygningen er i dag fredet (...).

I 1884 flyttede Ancher familien over i ejendommen Markvej 2, men Ancher fortsætte med at bruge Havehuset som atelier.

The Garden House

The Garden House, located in the museum’s garden, is one of Skagen’s oldest buildings and was first mentioned in 1801.

The Garden House was given its name in the 1840s when it became part of Brøndum’s farm. The inclusion meant that the house was now placed in the garden of Brøndum’s farm – hence the name the Garden House. The house has been used for many different purposes over time.

In 1853 it was used as a cholera Lazaret, and after a fire in Brøndum’s farm in 1874 it served as a grocery store and an inn with accommodation and taprooms.

The inn moved back to Brøndum’s farm in 1875, after the rebuilding of the wings that had been burned down.

In 1880 the newlywed couple Anna and Michael Ancher moved into the Garden House. The eastern end that had previously been the grocery store was refurbished as a studio, and it was at this time that the window was inserted in the house gable.

Helga Ancher was born in the Garden House in 1883 and the following year the Ancher family moved into the house on Markvej. Michael Ancher continued to use the Garden House as his studio. The house was later used as a summer residence for visiting artists.

In 1919 the Brøndum- and Ancher families donated the garden and the Garden House to Skagens Museum. Since then there has been memorial rooms for Holger Drachmann and P.S. Krøyer and various exhibitions. From 1989 to 1997 the Garden House functioned as an administration building. The Garden House has been restored several times, and in 1971 it became a listed protected building
