Manor of Rensselaerswyck, Dutch colonial estate near Albany, United States.
The Manor of Rensselaerswyck extended across both sides of the Hudson River, covering most of present-day Albany County and parts of Columbia and Greene counties.
Kiliaen van Rensselaer received the estate from the Dutch West India Company in 1630, establishing a system where tenant farmers worked the land under his authority.
The manor operated under its own court system with commissioners who managed executive, legislative, and judicial functions for the local population.
The New York State Library maintains the Rensselaerswyck Manor Papers, containing 305 containers of documents spanning from 1630 to 1899.
Tenant farmers paid their rent through various means, including wheat, cash, goods, or labor services, as documented in the Van Rensselaer family account ledgers.
