Birkelse Hovedgård

The Birkelse Manor extends over 3144 hectares of land, including 399 hectares of farmland and 17 hectares of gardens near Ryå in Aaby Sogn.

First mentioned in 1202, Birkelse Manor belonged to Vitskøl Monastery before transitioning to Børglum Bishopric in the late 14th century through a legal dispute.

The Skeel family has maintained ownership of Birkelse Manor since 1656, preserving agricultural traditions and local heritage through generations of management.

Located at Kammerherrensvej 59-62 in Aabybro, the estate contains multiple properties including Rævkærgård, Erikkasminde, and Gammel Toftegård within its boundaries.

The manor's original structure burned in 1534 during a peasant uprising, leading to crown confiscation before its rebuilding and establishment as Stamhuset Birkelse in 1696.
