Aastrup is a manor house and estate in Elverdamsdalen, between Tølløse and Hvalsø, Lejre Municipality, some 40 kilometres west of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Erik Krabbe instigated that Saxo Gramaticus's Danmarkskrønike from the 12th century was republished in 1534.

He sold it to royal treasurer Enevold Kruse in circa 1596 when he married Else Marsvin.

Some twenty years later, he sold it to Peder Lauridsen Scavenius purchased the estate.

He had recently been ennobled by Frederick III in conjunction with the introduction of Absolute monarchy.

The effect of a stamhus was that the estate could no longer be sold, pawned or divided between heirs.

A roadside memorial to Johan Wichel designed by Johannes Wiedewelt was installed at a nearby site.

It was replaced by the Bartholin Eichels Fideikommis, a bounded capital of 90,000 Danish eigsdaler.

Ulrik Christian Von Schmidten was colloquially known as the "manor butcher" (herregårdsslagteren) due to the large number of manors that he bought, alone or with partners, with the intention of breaking them up in smaller farms and sell them again.

Von Schmidten sold Aastrup to the Copenhagen-based merchant and ship-owner Hans Peder Kofoed.

She made large donations to charity and created a number of grants for indigent people on the estate.

He turned the estate into a stift for unmarried women and widows of his own family.

Its official name was Det Grevelige Dannemandske Stift but was also referred to as Aastrup Kloster.

Above the gate is a sandstone plate with Enevold Kruse's and his wife Else Marsvin's names.
