Moesgård

The white manor house features two curved wings extending from the main building, enclosing a central courtyard with agricultural structures from the 1800s.

Christian Frederik Gyldenkrone constructed the classical-style main building between 1780 and 1784, and the estate remained in the Gyldenkrone family for 150 years.

The Department of Archaeology and Anthropology at Aarhus University conducts research and educational programs within the former farm buildings of the estate.

The estate contains 100 hectares of parkland, forests, fields, and shoreline extending to Aarhus Bay, with public access to recreational areas.

Danish census records from 1787 document the household staff, including young members of the Guldencrone family who served as employees at the manor.
