THE HISTORY ABOUT BRØNDUMS HOTEL
Brøndums Hotel was originally a merchant's house, which in 1859 was expanded with a few rooms for rent. And although the hotel's owner, Degn Brøndum, was a modest gentleman, he was very ambitious with the hotel. In fact, the hotel was expanded countless times, ensuring that it transformed from a merchant's farm into one of Denmark's largest and best-known hotels.
One of Degn Brøndum's four siblings, Anna Brøndum, was an artist. She married into the surname Ancher and was part of the artist colony that came to Skagen in the 1870s.
Over time, Brøndums Hotel has hosted several great Danish cultural figures such as Georg Brandes, Carl Nielsen, Marie and P.S. Krøyer, Holger Drachmann and Anna and Michael Ancher.
