Vejrupgård, Manor house in Kerteminde Municipality, Denmark.
Vejrupgård is a manor house in Kerteminde Municipality on the island of Funen, consisting of several buildings built in Renaissance style with traditional Danish architectural features and red brick construction. The complex spreads across the grounds with a careful layout between the main residence and agricultural buildings.
The manor house was established during the Renaissance period and passed through the hands of several wealthy families, including Johan Bülow Hansen and Hans Brockenhuus-Löwenhielm in different eras. The many changes in ownership reflect broader shifts in Danish agriculture and social structure over time.
The manor shows how wealthy landowners expressed their power and prosperity through architecture and how such estates shaped the economic and social life of surrounding villages. The relationship between the house and the farmland remains visible in the layout and structure of the property today.
The manor house is located in Marslev east of Odense on the island of Funen and can be reached via Vejrupskovvej 1. Access is via rural roads, so it is advisable to arrive by car or check opening times in advance.
The property combines elements of castle architecture with the classic structure of a manor house, showing a rare transition between two building traditions. This blend makes it a noteworthy example of how Renaissance architecture took shape on Funen.
