Rathlousdal

The estate features a combination of Renaissance and Baroque architectural elements with surrounding gardens and characteristic dams spread across the grounds.

Established in 1674 by Gregorius Rathlou, the estate emerged from inherited lands including the former fief Aakær and Loverstrup farm.

The estate landscape received protected status in 1979 due to its manorial features, including traditional agricultural structures and formal garden arrangements.

The property maintains 1300 hectares of agricultural and forest lands, offering guided tours and educational programs about Danish noble estates.

Records from the late 18th century detail the estate's household staff, including specific positions such as housekeeper Marie Elisabeth Rasmusdatter and gardener Jens Hansen.
