Skaføgård, Renaissance manor house in Syddjurs Municipality, Denmark.

The red brick manor consists of three wings constructed on an islet, surrounded by wide water-filled moats and featuring round-arched windows with decorative patterns.

Jørgen Ottesen Rosenkrantz initiated the construction of Skaføgård between 1579 and 1582, creating an estate for his two sons Otto and Holger Rosenkrantz.

The interior contains a notable Dutch Renaissance oak cabinet by Mikkel van Gronningen, extending over 13 square meters of wall surface.

The estate encompasses 1095 hectares dedicated to agriculture and forestry operations, with the main building located 28 kilometers northeast of Aarhus.

The descendants of former Danish Prime Minister Jacob Brønnum Scavenius Estrup maintain ownership of Skaføgård since its acquisition in 1852.
