Marselisborg, Manor house in Aarhus, Denmark

Located in the Marselisborg neighborhood south of Aarhus city center, this Danish manor occupied a strategic position on agricultural lands during the medieval period.

King Frederik III transferred the estate to Dutch merchant Gabriel Marselis in 1661 as compensation for substantial debts incurred during the Second Northern War.

The estate name remains present across numerous local landmarks, including Marselisborg Palace, Marselisborg Forests, and Marselisborg Hospital, reflecting its regional influence.

Following the sale to Aarhus Municipality in 1896, the manor lands were subdivided and developed, leading to the demolition of the main building in 1910.

The original farm, known as Havreballegaard, belonged to the Diocese of Aarhus in the 1200s before becoming Crown property after the Danish Reformation.
