Turebyholm, Manor house in Faxe Municipality, Denmark
Turebyholm is a Rococo manor house distinguished by its single-story main building set above a high cellar. The facade features sandstone ornaments and the roof is covered in black-glazed tiles with four chimneys rising from it.
The manor was designed by Niels Eigtved and completed in 1750 for Adam Gottlob Moltke. The property received protected status in 1918 to preserve its architectural character.
The name Turebyholm reflects the Danish noble tradition and remains connected to the country's aristocratic heritage. The estate shows how wealthy families shaped rural properties across generations and left their mark on the landscape.
The property sits in a rural setting and is best reached by car or bicycle since public transportation is limited. Visiting during daylight hours helps you appreciate the sandstone details and roof features clearly.
Hidden within a grove north of the main building stands an 18th-century underground ice house topped by a small pavilion. This structure was once essential for keeping food and drinks cool and reveals the sophistication of estate life at that time.
