Erichsens Gård, Heritage museum in Rønne, Denmark
Erichsens Gård is a timber-framed house with a large garden planted with traditional trees and historic rose varieties. The property displays furniture, clothing, and tools that illustrate daily life on Bornholm across several centuries.
The building was constructed in 1806 and enlarged during the 1830s and 1840s. The Erichsen family acquired it in 1838 and preserved it as their home and a record of local life.
The house reflects how prosperous families lived on Bornholm and shaped the island's social life. Rooms display personal belongings and furnishings that show the daily routines and values of the residents.
The house is located in Rønne's old town area where other historical buildings are nearby for exploring. Visitors should allow time to walk through the rooms and garden without rushing.
The artist Kristian Zahrtmann was so drawn to the house and its family that he returned to paint it multiple times. His works show how the property and its residents inspired creative figures of that era.
