Text and photos Erik K Abrahamsen.
My friend Per Baagøe have invited me to a day´s journey to his childhood village Rørvig.
Per came by train from his home and atelier i Copenhagen and I arrived directly to Hundested Harbour – by a 10 min.´s local train journey from my home i Melby only 10 km from Hundested.
We met at Hundested Harbour and went on board the ferry crossing the 4-5 km wide sea entrance to Isefjord from Kattegat Sea.
The crossing time with car ferry “ISEFJORD” is 25 min.
“Lodsoldermandsgaarden” built 1681 as Custom House of all Isefjord area and from 1845 Pilot Station to Pil0t Chief.

We had a talk with the owner Ekkehard Meister of “Lodsoldermandsgaarden” since 1994.
He told us the history of “Lodsoldermandsgaarden” and all the visions for the future of the old buildings and the garden.
He invited us to look inside the buildings, visit the courtyard and the garden and gave me permission to photograph.
– so here is my photo story of my visit to the 3 – wings “Lodsoldermandsgaarden” built in 1681 on a 5500 m2 plot of land with garden and courtyard:
