A sconce was constructed at the site during the Second Northern War in 1660 to protect the strategically important infrastructure.

Ludvig Holberg sought refuge in the building for a few months when Copenhagen was hit by an outbreak of plague in 1711.

[1] From 1826 to 1900, Det Classenske Fideicommis operated a ferry service between Grønsund Færgegård and Borgsted on Møn.

[1] The ferry was finally superseded by a fixed link when the embankment to Bogø and the Møn Bridge was constructed in 1941–42, allowing for much more efficient automobile travel.

The residential building is oriented east-west and is located on the south side of a yard.

It is constructed with timber framing, now lime-washed, and with reed-facing on the two gables and half of the north side.

[1] On a lawn located immediately to the west of the building is a stone with an inscription commemorating that Borrehuset once stood at the site.

The inscription mentions that it was constructed in 1705, that the site was subject to archeological excavations in 1942, and that Marie Grubbe used to live in it.
