Klitgaarden
Klitgaarden was built in 1914 by the
late King Christian X as a private holiday residence for the Royal
Family.
Architectural design for the
Klitgaarden was made by Ulrik Plesner, a highly renowned architect
of those years, known from his design of many houses in Skagen and
in Copenhagen.
After the death of King Christian X in
1947, the Klitgaarden - or The Royal Villa, as many people from
Skagen preferred to call the house - was used by Queen Alexandrine.
When Queen Alexandrine died, Prince
Knud, her second son and younger brother of King Frederik IX, became
the owner of Klitgaarden.
Klitgaarden remained in the possession
of his family until 1997 when the heirs of Prince Knud and Princess
Caroline Mathilde sold the house to the Klitgaarden Trust.
