Mariehaven i Ansager

Mariehaven took shape in 1995, when Grethe Engelbrecht moved to Ansager, and the family built a creative environment around ceramics, stories and local community. In 1999, the Music Gallery officially opened on May 24 at Søndergade 20, and during the same period, the Englehuset became part of the identity of the place. In 2003, the next big step came when Helge and Rie Engelbrecht were given the opportunity to buy the neighboring plot down towards the river, creating the framework for the outdoor concerts and the stage that later became central.
