Master builder H. J. Sonne built Rønne’s first continuous “residential area” in Fiskerstræde in 1853–54.
Most of the houses were purchased by fishermen as they were only a stone’s throw from their place of work.
The houses originally had a continuous window ledge running beneath the windows.
Due to the sloping terrain, the houses on the higher east side of the street have a wooden staircase leading up to the front door.
