Barritskov

The red-brick villa features elements from its predecessor, incorporating materials from the original structure demolished in 1914 into its construction design.

The estate traces back to 1261 with hr Niels, who established the Franciscan monastery in Horsens, and passed through noble families including the Manderup lineage.

The estate demonstrates the evolution of Danish architecture from medieval fortifications to contemporary residential structures through its multiple transformations over centuries.

The property maintains connections to agricultural activities and stands near Staksevold, a medieval castle bank site containing archaeological remains.

Archaeological excavations at the adjacent Staksevold site revealed weapons from the 13th and 14th centuries within its moated embankment structure.
