Bungalow On the Beach

A DESOLATE stretch of beach, with little except a picturesque but crumbling temple and the ruins of a 16th century Dutch fort, is the location for an old Danish bungalow built in the 1800s. Now a secluded heritage home, it retains its cavernous entrance hall, panelled drawing rooms and enormous bedrooms with wraparound balconies, all of which look out onto the vast ocean, scattered with fishing boats, a view that hasn’t changed since the house was built. Take your time exploring the old Lutheran churches in the area, along with the Danish fort and the British Collector’s residence. It’s perfect stopover for the couple that loves the history and atmosphere of all places. Call it a night when you climb into your four-poster bed, in a home inspired by the high seas.
