Lystrup

Lystrup is a manor house built in Dutch Renaissance style on an extensive estate near Faxe. The main building features a south wing that displays the architectural character typical of its period.

The manor was commissioned by Chancellor Eiler Grubbe and underwent major changes in the late 1600s. The Grubbe family and their successors shaped the property throughout different periods of Danish history.

The property reflects traditions of Danish nobility, with several prominent families managing the estate over centuries. It shows how such grand residences served as centers of power and influence in their communities.

The property sits on a large rural estate with fields, pastures, and woodlands spanning several hundred hectares. Visitors can explore both the house and the surrounding countryside that makes up the working estate.

The estate has been in noble family hands since the early 1400s, showing a remarkable continuity of ownership over many centuries. The Moltke family acquired it more recently and maintains this long tradition today.
