What is typical for Skagen, are the colour of their houses. It is nearly always yellow. Various shades of yellow on the many old plaster-covered houses. At the end of the 19th century it was a tradition in Skagen to plaster their houses before the Pentacost-holiday. Another special feature is the white border on top the roofs. To prevent the tiles from blowing away during the winterstorms, they used cement to fasten them to the roof. All of them were glued from under, but in addition the outmost tiles also had to be glued on top. Thereafter these where painted white. And as you will see, this tradition is used to day.

It was good of you to add to my inclusion of off topic Skagen. Whilst viewing through your reply was to learn some thing I was not aware of, and that was the reason of the Yellow coloured plaster on the buildings. Over time also was my self to forget the past history of battles and ship wrecks along the coast.
