Pederstrup, Historical manor house and museum in Lolland Municipality, Denmark
Pederstrup is a manor house with neoclassical architecture and two cross wings with towers, located northeast of Nakskov on Lolland island. The current structure was expanded and redesigned in the 18th century after the Reventlow family acquired the property.
The estate began in 1340 when Laurids Jensen granted it to Halsted Monastery, and came under royal control in 1354 under King Valdemar Atterdag. It later became a major center for agricultural and social reform under the Reventlow family, whose ideas influenced Danish society.
The Reventlow family shaped Danish agricultural thinking and social reform, and their presence is felt throughout the rooms of the estate. Family portraits and personal belongings show how they lived and the impact they had on the wider community.
The property is easily reached by car near Nakskov, with parking available on site for visitors. Check opening times before your visit, as access can vary depending on the season and current programs.
The oldest part of the house contains a vaulted cellar room from the 16th century that preserves the original medieval construction of the estate. This chamber reveals how the building looked in its earliest days before later baroque and neoclassical alterations took place.
