Egebjerggård

Egebjerggaard, formerly known as Einsidelsborg, is a manor house and estate situated close to Otterup on the northern part of Funen, Denmark.

In 1810, it was included in the County of Roepstorff, The Neoclassical main building dates from 1831 and was most likely designed by Jørgen Hansen Koch.

During the 1700s, the Danish branch of the Putbus family became increasingly attached to Pomerania, as a consequence of the acquired possessions on Rügen.

Moltke also introduced clover cultivation in the area, established a weaving industry and reclaimed the cove that separated Egebjerggård and Kørup.

[1] After Moltke took over Bregentved on his father's death in 1795, Egebjerggaard and Kørup were sold to Wilhelm de Roepstorff.

From 1839 the county was inherited by various members of the Petersdorff family, until in 1921 it passed to free property as a result of the so-called lensafløsningslov.

The sale was the start of a period with many different owners, which only ended when Folketing member Mads E.g. Damgaard bought Egebjerggaard in 1963.
