Benzonsdal, Manor house in Torslunde, Ishøj Municipality, Denmark.

The yellow brick manor house rises over two stories with a slate roof above a high basement, situated 20 kilometers west of Copenhagen.

Supreme Court Justice Peder Benzon established the estate in 1730 from land that belonged to Gjeddesdal, managing 50 tenant farms and 100 smallholdings.

The Lerche family has maintained ownership of the property since 1853, preserving the agricultural traditions and architectural heritage of Danish manor life.

The estate extends across 447 hectares, with 409 hectares dedicated to agricultural operations, accessible through a long, private avenue.

The manor served as a filming location for two Danish adaptations of The Famous Five novels in the 1960s and the 2013 film The Hunt.
