Kasnih
1930-ih godina 20. stoljeća slikar Jens Sondergaard preselio je
u kuću u Toftumu, a u pismu svome prijatelju Leu Svaneu opisao
je “pejzaže tako prekrasno ekspanzivnim da se nisu mogli usporediti
s Thyem”.
Umjetnikova fasciniranost posebnom svjetlošću, snažnim brežuljcima
Toftum Bjergea koji se protežu u daljinu, te široko otvorenim
nebom regije Limfjord, inspirirala je velik broj značajnih slika,
često naslikanih u istom predjelu gdje je i izgrađena gostinjska
kuća.
Kuća je usađena u padinu brežuljka, s panoramskim pogledom od
dvjesto stupnjeva koji se proteže s istoka prema zapadu, preko
otvorene, neizgrađene dine i predjela s livadama koje se spuštaju
prema obali Nissum Bredninga.

In
the late 1930s, painter Jens Sřndergaard moved into a house in
Toftum, and in a letter to his friend, Leo Svane he described
“landscapes so wonderfully expansive they were beyond comparison
with Thy”.
The artist’s fascination with the special light, the strong sweeping
Toftum Bjerge hills and the Limfjord region’s wide open skies
inspired a number of distinctive paintings, often done in the
same area where the guest house was built.
The house is built into a hilly slope, with a 200-degree panoramic
view from east to west over an open, unbuilt dune and meadow area
running down towards the coast at Nissum Bredning. One of the
goals was to capture the light from the sky in a continuous spatial
sequence in one building, which seen from any direction, would
reflect the profile of the hill ridge.
