Lundbygård, Manor house in Vordingborg Municipality, Denmark
Lundbygård is a manor house in Vordingborg Municipality displaying neoclassical architecture with a two-story main wing, symmetrical proportions, and pilasters on its exterior walls. The estate spreads across large areas of woodland that form part of its working landscape today.
In 1661 the Danish Crown granted Lundbygård to military commander Svend Poulsen as recognition for his service during the Swedish Wars. The estate later passed through generations of ownership and remained an important rural property in the region.
The French-style garden was designed by Caspar Wilhelm von Munthe von Morgenstierne and reflects the refined landscaping preferences of Danish landowners. The carefully composed outdoor space complements the elegant main house and shows how the wealthy lived in these rural estates.
The small museum opens to visitors on Constitution Day, June 5th, displaying historical objects from the estate's past. Visitors should note that the larger woodland areas are often restricted to working activities, so it is best to stay in marked areas.
Today the estate operates as one of Europe's largest Christmas tree production sites, managing around 600 hectares of woodland for this seasonal industry. This working use has completely transformed how the property looks and functions, showing how historic estates adapt to modern purposes.
