Erichsens Gård is the best preserved burgher’s house in Rønne, built in 1806 and enlarged in the 1830s.
The house is named after a previous owner, counsellor Th. Erichsen, who owned the property from 1838.
The house has mementos of painter Kristian Zahrtmann and writer Holger Drachmann, whose first wife, Vilhelmine Erichsen,
was the daughter of the house. Henning Pedersen, who designed Rønne’s original Rectory (19) and Rønne’s old town hall on Store Torv (25),
lived here from 1816 to 1837 and left his mark on the building. The street space is closed off on both sides of the house and the garden is enclosed by a half-timbered garden wall.
Erichsens Gård includes an exhibition about the property and its history and is also furnished in the style of a burgher’s home from the last half of the 1800s.
The garden is an old-fashioned, protected town garden of great cultural-historical value.
