Krabbesholm , Lejre Municipality, Manor house in Lejre Municipality, Denmark.

The Gothic Revival style estate features one-meter-thick double walls made from bevelled fieldstones and medieval bricks spanning 488 hectares of land.

The first main building on the estate was constructed in 1853 for Lars Trolle, although the property's origins date back to 1647 under Oluf Rosenkrantz.

The banqueting hall contains wall paintings created by artist O.V. Wassman in 1759, representing artistic expressions of 18th-century Denmark.

The manor currently operates as an international school offering programs in Art, Photography, Architecture, Design, and Graphic Design to students worldwide.

The medieval bricks used in construction were obtained from churches demolished during the Reformation period, connecting the structure to religious changes.
