34. Zahrtmann’s Garden

“Zahrtmann’s Garden” is situated at Grønnegade 28, named after renowned Bornholm artist Kristian Zahrtmann who was born in this house in 1843.
This fine example of an old garden is visible through the wrought-iron gate.
Grønnegade 15 and 17–19 are three old half-timbered properties in the simple Bornholm style of timber-framing, which lacks braces and ground sills (as distinct from elsewhere in Denmark),
presumably due to an extreme shortage of suitable wood on Bornholm.
The large, red, timber-framed house was built around 1761, but was substantially rebuilt in 1822 by commandant P. M. Hoffmann, hence the name “Hoffmanns Gård”.
