Gammel Skovgård is a former country house in Gentofte Municipality in the northern suburbs of Copenhagen, Denmark.

As a gift to his children, Puggaard also commissioned the architect Michael Gottlieb Bindesbøll to build another country house in the area.

[2] After Puggaard's death in 1866, Skovgård was taken over by his grand daughter Margrethe Lehmann together with her husband Gotfred Rode.

Rode, a prominent literary historian, created a meetingplace for Grundtvigian and National Liberal opinion leaders.

In the 1940, Skovgård was purchased by Gentofte Municipality whose intention was to build a new primary school at the central location in the growing suburb.
