Bjørnemose

Bjørnemose is a manor house in Svendborg Municipality with a main building completed in 1854 that displays architectural features typical of Danish country estates from the mid-19th century. The west wing incorporates stones and materials from nearby castle ruins integrated during construction around 1750, blending older building materials with the newer structure.

The estate was transferred from royal possession to private ownership in 1531 when King Christian III granted it to Hans Ottesen, marking the start of its history under private administration. The west wing was later built around 1750 and incorporated stones from nearby castle ruins into its structure.

The estate represents a time when Danish manor houses served as agricultural centers under noble administration, shaping the rural landscape around them.

The manor house remains visible from public roads but is privately owned and closed to public access inside. You can view the building from the outside and explore the surrounding countryside without entering the property.

The west wing contains old stones taken from nearby castle ruins and shows how earlier structures were repurposed into new buildings. This reuse of materials from crumbling fortifications was a common practice when rebuilding rural estates of that era.
