Conrad Fabritius de Tengnagel

[1] In 1772, Fabritius de Tengnagel was elected as one of the directors of the Danish Asia Company.

In 1784, he was again forced to resign in connection with a scandal where a group of high-ranking employees had embezzled the company for close to DKK 500,000.

In the end Fabritius de Tengnagel had to pay 10,000 Danish rigsdaler in compensation to the company.

[3] In 1775, Fabritius de Tengnagel inherited the country house Enrum at Vedbæk.

He undertook a comprehensive renovation of the house and created a number of monuments and other features in the garden, including columns, artificial ponds and a miniature fortification with cannons that saluted at festive occasions.
