Holtegaard is a former Manor house in Rudersdal Municipality north of Copenhagen, Denmark, today operated as an arts centre and a museum.

[1][2] In 1754, Lauritz de Thurah acquired an agricultural property, a former tenant farn, in order to establish a suitable country house for himself outside Copenhagen.

Simultaneously he was also building a town house for himself in Amaliegade in Copenhagen's new Frederiksstaden district, the responsibility of which he had been assigned after the death of Nicolai Eigtved (1701–1754) the previous year.

Prior to that, he had lived some years at his estate at Børglum Abbey to which he had retired when his Baroque style fell out of favour and most of the prestigious assignments in the capital went to Eigtved.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the estate was owned by Hans Niels Andersen (1852–1937), founder of the East Asiatic Company.

The cemetery is located in the northern part of the Maglemosen peat bog, and was discovered in 1975 during excavation for the new Vedbæk School.

[6] An example of the findings of this culture cemetery include the bodies of a young woman with a necklace made of teeth, and her newborn baby.

The child's grave goods suggest that the culture involved ascribed status – the passing of power between generations.

Holtegaard is used as a location in the films Tre piger fra Jylland (1957) and Soldaterkammerater på efterårsmanøvre (1961).
