Edelgave, Manor house in Egedal Municipality, Denmark

The Neoclassical main building of Edelgave features a two-story central structure with service wings forming a front courtyard near Copenhagen.

Built in 1791 by architect Andreas Kirkerup, Edelgave replaced an earlier structure that was destroyed by fire in the early 1780s.

The estate spans 300 hectares with two woods, Edelgave Skov and Slotsskoven, representing traditional Danish manor landscaping and architecture.

Located 20 kilometers northwest of Copenhagen, Edelgave stands as a protected monument under the Kulturstyrelsen register of Danish heritage sites.

Prime Minister Thomas Madsen-Mygdal owned the estate from 1921 to 1943, marking a period of political significance for the property.
