Kollerup Gods, Manor house in Hadbjerg Sogn, Denmark
Kollerup Gods is a three-winged manor arranged around a courtyard with a central staircase tower. The main structure sits within a large rural property that includes fields, forests, and meadows.
The estate first appeared in records in 1313 and passed between Danish noble families over several centuries. Beneath the current building lie remains of a castle built between 1536 and 1540.
The manor contains remnants of a two-story castle constructed between 1536 and 1540 by nobleman Erik Nielsen Tornekrans beneath its current structure.
The manor can be reached through private roads on the estate, so it is best to arrange a visit in advance. Being situated in a rural area means public transport options are limited and it takes time to reach from the nearest towns.
The owner Manderup Parsberg gained the property in 1574 following his involvement in a famous duel with astronomer Tycho Brahe. This dramatic episode remains part of the estate's local narrative.
