Klintholm Manor, Manor house on Møn island, Denmark.
Klintholm Manor is a three-winged stone building displaying Neoclassical design with balanced proportions and refined exterior details. The structures sit within extensive grounds and working farmlands that form part of a large agricultural estate.
A major fire in 1819 destroyed all the buildings on the estate, leading to a complete rebuilding in 1820 under Kathrine Scavenius. The Scavenius family took control in 1798 and has remained the owner ever since.
The manor reflects the importance of agricultural estates in shaping Danish rural life and local communities. The buildings and working lands around it show how landowners managed vast territories and influenced the development of their regions.
The manor is located on Møn island and can be reached via Klintholm Alle in Borre. Note that parts of the estate remain active farmland and are privately used, so access may be limited depending on the season.
Although completely destroyed by the 1819 fire, the rebuilt structures were reconstructed following Neoclassical designs and retained their original form. The reconstructed buildings are therefore architecturally authentic to the 1820s period, even though they do not contain original materials.
