This elegant, red-brick Renaissance monument surrounded by a moat and standing in wooded grounds in an isolated spot was built at the end of the 16C. It was restored in the 20C by its last owner, Count Oberbech-Clausen, who also had his late wife's large art collection brought here and organised for the castle to be opened to the public after his death. The collection includes paintings (Goya, Rubens, Fragonard, Watteau), old furniture, porcelain, and French and Chinese objets d'art.

This church has astonishing frescoes from the Middle Ages and fine 16C furnishings belonging to a (demolished) Carmelite convent dedicated to the Virgin Mary and founded at the end of the 15C. The oldest frescoes painted in warm colours are very expressive; they embellish the left of the nave, the part that remains of the primitive church. One group illustrates the legend of Joachim and Anna; the other, The Last Judgement. Don't miss the 16C altarpiece, the Renaissance pulpit, the stalls and the sculpture on wood of the Virgin and Child, in late Gothic style.

The museum founded by Michael Ancher and his friends opened in 1928, and contains 1 500 paintings, drawings and sculptures by Skagen School artists. The painters, fascinated by the ever-changing light of the windswept landscape, came to work in Skagen between 1830 and 1930. Note the 81 artists' portraits and other paintings on the panelling in the dining room, which was moved here from the Brøndum hotel where the artists used to meet.
