Aastrup, Manor house in Elverdamsdalen, Denmark

The Aastrup estate spans 688 hectares, encompassing farmland, woodland, and parkland with a three-winged complex constructed from red brick.

In 1842, Count Frederik Vilhelm Dannemand, an illegitimate son of King Frederik VI, purchased the Aastrup estate and later established it as an institution.

The estate reflects the changing social structures of Denmark, where royal descendants created institutions to support specific groups within society.

Located 40 kilometers west of Copenhagen between Tølløse and Hvalsø, Aastrup represents the architectural heritage of Danish manor houses.

The manor transformed from episcopal ownership through noble hands to become an institution supporting widows and unmarried women related to Count Dannemand.
