A farm steward writes in a letter to his master about the looting of Ellinge by Søren Norby in the Scanian rebellion taking place at the time.

Christoffer Walkendorff, who was Ellinge's Manager from 1640 to 1690, describes the property in a written report as having a courtyard with a four-winged house group, a barn and being surrounded by a moat.

Highly indebted, Hans sold the dilapidated property to Margareta von Ascheberg who, along with her husband, had previously lent money to Walkendorff.

A written description of the property from around this time describes three gardens, one of which one was located inside the moat, where it surrounded the main building and the southern wing.

To the east of the mill, in the river, lay an island called Åholmen, which was used by the gentry at Ellinge in the latter half of the 18th century for an unknown purpose.

A sketch by Adolf Fredrik Barnekow called "Plan D'Ellinge" done in 1768 shows a three-part landscaping west of the castle, in accordance with earlier sources.

The first, Carl Fredrik Dücker II made a career in the military, during which time the estate's appearance did not change much.

This is an inaccessible area located on a hillside between the moat and Braan; the trees may have served as windbreaks or just been used to beautify the castle setting.

The distilling of spirits was an important source of income for the farm/estate by transforming corn and potatoes into cash by selling the resulting liquor.

Dücker III was a lifelong bachelor and made Ellinge a focal point for young academics, writers, the parish vicar and several priests, who like him were humanists and shared his interest in literature and art.

In connection with these he demolished the old half-timbered northern wing, and built several new barn buildings north of the old ones, which were allowed to remain in place.

In the area to the south of a large meadow bisected by the Braan river was a mineral-rich natural source that was used by both local peasants and gentry, around which was a spa pavilion.
