A number of artists have resided in the building in the late 19th and early 20th century, including Viggo Pedersen and Niels Skovgaard.

The property traces its history back to 1628 when Christian IV presented castle clerk (slotsskriver) Johan Bøgvad with three bogs in the vicinity of Hillerød.

[1] Many of the high-ranking guests who visited Hillerød in connection with the coronation of Frederick V on 4 September 1848 at Frederiksborg Castle stayed in private homes across the town.

Attached to this building was a seven-bay-long secondary wing with thatched roof, built partly in masonry and partly with timber framing, containing smaller rooms and a utility room as well as a ten-bay combined table and carriagehouse and another building, 20 bays long, with stables, carriagehouse and barn.

Niels Skovgaard was a member of Hillerød's independent Grundtvigian congregation (valgmenighed) and contributed to the design and decoration of Ullerød Church on a site next to Frederiksborg Folk High School.
