Ålsgårde Explained

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 5,846 (1 January 2024).[1]

Notable buildings

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.
