Nysø Manor

The building features red brick walls with sandstone details, a red-tiled roof, and four Ionic pilasters supporting triangular pediments on both sides.

Constructed in 1673 for Jens Lauridsen, Nysø Manor stands as the first Danish manor house designed in the Baroque architectural style by Ewert Janssen.

The manor contains the Thorvaldsen Collection, displaying clay models, sculptures, and drawings created by the Danish sculptor during his residency at the estate.

The estate spans over 1,041 hectares and includes multiple properties such as Jungshovedgaard, Christinelund, Henriklund, and Mariannelund within its grounds.

A clock mounted on the northern facade features two figures that strike the hour, while the original moat surrounding the manor was partially filled in 1780.
