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”.
