Egebjerggård, Manor house in Nordfyn Municipality, Denmark
Egebjerggård is a manor house featuring a Neoclassical main building constructed in 1831, standing as a protected structure within a large estate near Otterup. The property spans approximately 1,000 hectares and retains its early 19th-century architectural character.
The estate came under control of the Podebusk family for 400 years until Joachim Godske Moltke acquired it in 1781 and implemented agricultural improvements. Its transformation had already begun in 1676 when the land was divided into two baronies, only to be reunited in 1716 under Malte Putbus.
The estate took its former name Einsidelsborg from noblewoman Sidonia Maria Abrahamsdatter von Einsidel, whose marriage linked Danish and German aristocratic families. Her influence shaped the property and its connections across European noble circles.
The manor remains private property and can only be viewed from the adjacent road that runs past the estate. Visitors can see the facade and surrounding grounds from the public path without access to the interior or grounds.
The property became a pioneer in modern agricultural methods when clover cultivation was introduced under Joachim Godske Moltke's stewardship. These innovations represented some of the most progressive farming practices in early 19th-century Denmark.
