Klitgården
Klitgården blev i 1914 opført af den daværende Kong Christian den X som privat feriebolig for den kongelige familie.
Klitgården er tegnet af en af datidens kendteste arkitekter, Ulrik Plesner, der har tegnet adskillige bygninger i Skagen og i København.
Efter kongens død i 1947 blev Klitgården – eller Kongevillaen som den kaldtes af mange i Skagen – ofte benyttet af Dronning Alexandrine.
Ved hendes død overtog Arveprins Knud Klitgården. Klitgården forblev i familiens eje indtil sommeren 1997, hvor arvingerne efter Arveprins Knud og Arveprinsesse Caroline Mathilde solgte ejendommen til Klitgården Fonden.
Siden Januar 2000 har Klitgården været et refugium for kunstere og videnskabsfolk som kan søge om ophold her.

Klitgaarden was built in 1914 by the then King Christian X as a private retreat for the royal family.
Klitgaarden was designed by one of the most famous contemporary architect Ulrik Plesner, who has designed several buildings in Skagen and Copenhagen.
After the King's death in 1947 was Klitgaarden - or the Kings villa as it was called by many in Skagen - often used by Queen Alexandrine.
As she died, Prince Knud took over the Klitgaarden. Klitgaarden remained in his family until the summer of 1997 when the heirs of Prince Knud and Princess Caroline Mathilde sold the property to KlitgaardenFoundation.
In Janury 2000 became Klitgaarden a retreat for artists and scientists who can apply for residence here.
