Rytterhuset (lit. "The Rider's House"), located at Nordre Strandvej 230, Ålsgårde, Helsingør Municipality, Denmarkm was built in 1889 to a national romantic design by Martin Nyrop as summer residence for the painter Frants Henningsen. The property, including a detached atelier, a jetty with a bathhouse and a number of other outbuildings, were listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1993. The ample use of wood ornamentation and polychromy are both tell-tale features of this particular architectural style. The name of the building was inspired by a relief of a horseman located above the main entrance. Read more on Wikipedia
