Strandegård, Manor house in Faxe Municipality, Denmark
Strandegård is a manor house in Faxe Municipality situated on a large estate that combines farmland, forests, and natural environments. The main building stands within this landscape and connects to an adjacent camping resort that provides beach access and outdoor facilities.
The estate was founded in 1662 by Axel Sehested on land granted by King Frederick III, replacing the earlier village of Fiskerhoved. Ownership passed to the Thott and Reedtz-Thott families, who have maintained the property within the family ever since.
The manor functions as a working family estate where historical spaces blend with active farming operations that visitors can observe in their daily rhythm. The connection between domestic life and agriculture is visible in the organized fields and forests surrounding the main house.
The property is accessible by local roads and the adjacent camping resort offers most visitor services nearby. Visitors should note that the manor house itself may not always be open and it is best to inquire before visiting.
The estate became linked to Feddet Beach and played a role in the development of the local coastal community while maintaining its agricultural character. This shift from isolated manor to part of an expanding seaside region remains visible in the site's current layout.
