Anchers Hus

[1] Michael Ancher (1849–1927) and Anna Ancher (1859–1935) were both central figures in the artist colony of Skagen Painters who lived and worked in the town during late 19th and early 20th century.

In 1913, a large annex was added to the property with studios, kitchen, living and bed rooms.

[2][3][4] They lived in the house for five decades and in 1913 expanded it with a studio annex designed by architect Ulrik Plesner (1861–1933) another member of the colony.

[9] Original furniture and paintings created by the Anchers and other Skagen artists are shown in the restored home and studio.

The Saxild House hosts offices and meeting spaces for staff members of the Art Museums of Skagen in one wing, while the other wing is used for a bakery and a cafe as well as a separate artist's studio.
