Skagen is Denmark's northernmost town, situated at the tip of the Jutland peninsula where the North Sea and Baltic Sea meet. The town gained prominence in the late 19th century as an artists' colony, attracting numerous painters who became known as the Skagen Painters. These artists were drawn to the area's unique light conditions and natural beauty, particularly the way the special Nordic light was reflected off the seas and sand.
The town's history is deeply rooted in fishing, which remains an important industry alongside tourism. The distinctive yellow houses with red-tiled roofs, known as Skagen Yellow, are emblematic of the town's architectural style. The area's cultural heritage is well-preserved through its museums and historical sites, offering visitors insight into both its artistic legacy and maritime history.
