Constantinsborg, Manor house in Aarhus Municipality, Denmark
Constantinsborg is a three-story Neoclassical brick manor house in Aarhus Municipality, featuring symmetrical design and traditional Danish architectural details near Årslev Lake. The estate encompasses roughly 508 hectares used for agriculture, forestry, and property rental.
The estate was originally known as Stadsgaard from 1400 and received its current name in 1667 when Constantin Marselis acquired it as payment for Danish state debts. Changes under later owners transformed it into a center for developing modern farming practices.
The estate served as a center for agricultural education under Hendrik Pontoppidan, where farming methods were developed and taught to others. Today, visitors can observe how these innovations shaped the way the land is organized and used.
The estate offers limited visitor access, so check local information about seasonal restrictions since much of the property remains in active use for farming and forestry. Visit during warmer months when the gardens and landscapes look their best.
The gardens underwent a striking transformation from Baroque style to English design, with freestanding trees and open lawns that completely reshaped the landscape. This shift during the Pontoppidan period shows how European garden trends influenced the property.
