Ålsgårde
Ålsgårde is a seaside resort and former fishing village on the north coast of Zealand, Denmark, located six kilometer northwest of Helsingør.
Formerly Ålsgårde was a separate town, but today it has merged with the neighbouring town of Hellebæk into an urban area with a population of 5,816 (1 January 2023).[1]
Notable buildings[edit]
Rytterhuset (Nordre Strandvej 230) was built in 1889 as summer residence for the painter Frants Henningsen to a National Romantic design by Martin Nyrop. The property, including a jetty with a bathhouse and a couple of outbuildings, is now listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places.[2] Nordre Strandvej 140, a half-timbered house from 1819, is also listed.[3] Hellebæk Church is, in spite of its name, also located in Ålsgårde.
