Arnoldus von Falkenskiold

Arnoldus von Falkenskiold (11 June 1743–15 May 1819) was a Danish Noble courtier, colonel and major landowner who is renowned for his agricultural reforms in Denmark.

He was the son of nobleman Martin Dyssel von Falkenskiold and brother of general Otto von Falkenskiold who was sentenced to life imprisonment for his support of privy councillor Count Johann Struensee but later released.

He joined the Zealand Dragoon Regiment in 1767, reaching the rank of captain in 1770 and major in 1772.

He reduced the size of the former royal residence by shortening the building and removing the upper floor.

He contributed to a number of agricultural journals of his day, writing about subjects such as pig breeding, the use of root crops as cattle feed (1804), the use of potatoes, and obstacles for a more efficient agricultural industry.
