Steensgård, Manor house in Langeland Municipality, Denmark
Steensgård is a manor house sitting on a hilltop in northern Langeland with views over a lake, forest, and the sea. The building features historical architecture and landscaped gardens that define the property.
The estate was originally called Krogagergaard and first appears in records from 1442. Architect G.F. Hetsch carried out a major renovation between 1836 and 1837 that transformed its appearance.
The manor hosts summer concerts in its park, bringing classical music performances by emerging Danish opera singers to the local community. These events show how this historic location continues to serve as a gathering place for residents.
The manor remains privately owned, but visitors can attend summer concerts held in the park and view the building's exterior. The hilltop location offers easy access and clear sightlines across the grounds.
The 1836 renovation transformed an original medieval knight's hall into a pioneering example of Danish historicist architecture. This bold architectural choice by G.F. Hetsch helped define the aesthetic direction of the era.
