Krenkerup

Krenkerup is a manor house and castle in Guldborgsund Municipality on Lolland island, featuring a three-winged structure positioned on a raised mound surrounded by a protective moat. The estate encompasses a large rural property with agricultural operations and historical buildings that serve various purposes today.

The estate is documented from 1330 onwards and passed through marriages between prominent Danish families including Gøye, Brahe, Rosenkrantz, and Reventlow-Hardenberg. The Hardenberg family left a particularly strong mark on the property during their tenure over the centuries.

A working brewery operates within the historical buildings today, offering visitors a window into traditional craft production methods. The polo field remains active and serves as the only professional full-size venue of its kind in Denmark.

The estate is located about 3 kilometers (2 miles) southwest of Sakskøbing on Lolland island and is accessible through guided tours. Visiting is possible throughout the year, allowing guests to explore the buildings and grounds at a leisurely pace.

The property was known by the name Hardenberg between 1815 and 1938, reflecting its connection to the Hardenberg-Reventlow countship during that era. This historical name serves as a reminder of the significant influence the Hardenberg family exerted over the property's development.
