Holmegaard Gods, Manor house and protected building complex near Fensmark, Denmark

The three-winged manor house stands on a bank encircled by a moat, with granite boulders forming the foundation of its steep slopes.

Built in 1635 for Claus Olufsen Daa, the estate expanded through land acquisitions and received special privileges from King Frederick III in 1671.

The estate initiated the Holmegaard Glass Factory in 1825, established by Henriette Danneskiold-Samsøe using local peat as fuel for production.

The estate spans 1,724 hectares and provides conference facilities, hunting grounds, rental properties, and venues for meetings and social gatherings.

The outer wings of the structure rest upon steep bank slopes reinforced with granite stones, requiring specialized stabilization techniques to prevent displacement.
