Ulrik Plesner

He is remembered in particular for his influence on the style of architecture practiced in Skagen in the north of Jutland.

[1] Born in Vedersø near Ringkøbing on the west coast of Jutland, he was the son of parish priest J.F.

He developed a simple style typified by compact structures of red brick with white cornices and trimmings.

Highly respected by his colleagues, he contributed to the development of the main style of the period, Historicism.

He also associated with Thorvald Bindesbøll who collaborated with him, often designing interiors in the Art Nouveau style.
