Høvdingsgård

The Høvdingsgård estate features a two-story neoclassical main building constructed in 1852, with later modifications made in 1901 to expand its structure.

Originally named Høvdingshus in the early 1600s, this Crown-owned manor served as the residence for the local chief forester before becoming part of Vordingborg Cavalry District.

The estate represents Danish architectural evolution through its neoclassical design, reflecting the period's construction methods and social hierarchies in rural Denmark.

Located at coordinates 55.038 latitude and 12.0838 longitude, the estate encompasses 792 hectares of land with multiple access routes through Vordingborg Municipality.

Anders Lassen, born at Høvdingsgård in 1920, became the sole non-Commonwealth recipient of the British Victoria Cross during World War II.
