Brøndums Hotel

Brøndums Hotel, in the little harbor town of Skagen in the north of Denmark, is remembered for its close associations with the late 19th-century artists colony known as the Skagen Painters. It still operates as a hotel today.

The hotel originated in a farmhouse which Ane Kirstine Houmann had inherited from her stepfather Chresten Jensen Degn . After the death of her husband Anders Eriksen Brøndum , her son Erik Andersen Brøndum helped her to run the grocery shop and guest house which she established in the old farmhouse. Erik and his wife Anne Hedvig Sørensdatter Møller later ran the business together until it was taken over by their son Christen Degn Brøndum who converted it into guest rooms and in 1891 gave it the name of Brondums Hotel. Their daughter, the painter Anna Ancher was born in the hotel.
