Constantinsborg

The three-story Neoclassical brick structure of Constantinsborg stands near Årslev Lake, featuring symmetrical design elements and traditional Danish architectural details.

Originally named Stadsgaard in 1400, the estate received its current name from Constantin Marselis, who acquired the property as payment for Danish state debts in 1667.

The manor became a center for agricultural education under Hendrik Pontoppidan's ownership, contributing to the development of farming practices in Denmark.

The estate spans 508 hectares of land used for agriculture, forestry, and property rental, with seasonal access restrictions for visitors.

The gardens transformed from a Baroque design to an English style, incorporating free-standing trees and lawns during the Pontoppidan period.
