Fiskerklyngen

Fiskerklyngen is the oldest district in Frederikshavn, with a rich history dating back to 1568. Originally, the settlement consisted of half-timbered houses, but the current houses date from the period 1800-1900. These typically yellow-washed houses with clay tiles and whitewashed mortar are a classic example of North Jutland architecture. The cobblestone streets add to the district's charm.

 

The settlement in Fiskerklyngen can be traced back to 1568, where the first houses were simple half-timbered structures. An example of these is Strandgade 6. The houses that exist today were built in the period 1800-1900 and reflect the traditional building style of North Jutland. They are characterized by their yellow-washed facades, tiled roofs, and whitewashed mortar that marks the bricks along the edges of the house. This architectural style gives Fiskerklyngen its unique character and testifies to the area's rich cultural heritage.

In Fiskerklyngen's streets, there was originally a lively dinghy harbor, which was a central part of the district until the early 1970s when the train station was relocated. The harbor was an important hub for the local fishermen, and many of the boys who grew up in the area often became fishermen like their fathers before them. Although Fiskerklyngen has lost its dinghy harbor today, the maritime heritage lives on through the stories and traditions that are still part of the district's identity.
