Sparresholm

The estate encompasses 550 hectares of land, including 235 hectares of agricultural fields, 275 hectares of forest, and 20 hectares of lakes and meadows.

Originally named Paddeborg, the estate belonged to the Roskilde Bishopric from 1410 to 1536, until Christian IV traded it to his cupbearer Jens Sparre in 1607.

The main building featured traditional Danish architectural elements with white-painted window trim, red brick walls, and sandstone lions framing the courtyard staircase.

The property maintains agricultural operations and offers rental opportunities for hunting activities across its extensive grounds under the management of Thomas Garth-Grüner.

The manor's three-winged structure, constructed in 1609 with additions in 1703, stood until June 2013 when a fire destroyed the main building.
