Egeløkke

Egeløkke estate comprises a neoclassical main building constructed in 1845, standing on the northern part of Langeland island with agricultural lands surrounding it.

The estate's records date back to the 1420s when the Mylting family held ownership, followed by significant changes during the Swedish occupation in the 1650s.

The manor holds significance as the place where Danish writer N.F.S. Grundtvig worked as a tutor in 1805, influencing his literary works through experiences there.

The manor remains a private residence with restricted public access, continuing its operations in agriculture and forestry under the ownership of Christina Regitze Kaas Knuth.

During the Swedish invasion of 1657, Elisabeth Thermo paid the occupying forces with gold, silver, and jewelry to protect the estate from further damage.
