Tersløsegaard, Manor house in Dianalund, Denmark
Terslosegaard is a three-winged manor house with whitewashed timber framing, symmetrical windows, and a red tile roof in Dianalund. The building was redesigned in 1832 and displays the typical Danish manor architecture of that era.
The estate traces back to the 13th century when Anders Knudsen Grosøn owned it, later passing to Jens Grubbe and other noble families. After the Reformation, the property underwent several transformations before reaching its present form.
The property is linked to writer Ludvig Holberg, who purchased it in 1745 and made it his residence and estate. Visitors can sense this literary connection when walking through the rooms and grounds.
The house is located in Dianalund and is best reached by car or foot, with parking available on the grounds. The surroundings are rural, so visitors should check ahead to confirm it is open and what access is currently available.
The garden was redesigned twice by noted Danish landscape designers, first in 1957 by Carl Theodor Sørensen and later in the late 1970s. These garden interventions show how the property was treated as a site of design interest over time.
