Løvenholt, Manor house in Salten, Denmark
Løvenholt is a manor house sitting on a 383-hectare estate northwest of Salten Lake, with a main building that forms the heart of the property. The structure was comprehensively renovated in 1920 by architect Gotfred Tvede, giving it the appearance it holds today.
The manor was established in 1830 when Frederik Harald Møller merged three separate farms into a single estate. The property changed hands repeatedly over the following generations, as was common for Danish manors during that era.
The estate remains an active farm where traditional Danish agricultural practices are carried out in daily work. The property shapes the rural character of the Silkeborg region through its working fields and countryside rhythm.
The property is located in Silkeborg Municipality and sits comfortably accessible from the surrounding villages, nestled between the lakes and farmland of the region. Since it remains an active working farm, visitors should contact ahead and show respect for the agricultural operations when visiting the grounds.
The National Library of Denmark holds aerial photographs from 1946 and 1969 that document how the estate and surrounding landscape transformed over more than two decades. These images offer visitors a rare view of the property's historical evolution from above.
