Højbygård

Højbygård is a manor house and estate located on the island of Lolland in southeastern Denmark.

It was later owned by members of the Walkendorff family before it was transferred to Erik Krummedige through marriage in 1475.

His son, Claus Krummedige, adapted the main building towards the end of the century and surrounded it by ramparts and moats.

His daughter, Drude, brought the estate into her marriage with Marshal of the Realm Otte Krumpen.

Helvig Ulfeldt's son, Knud Bille, expanded the estate significantly with more land.

He improved the management of his estates, for instance by introducing so-called Holstein rotation (Holsteinsk drift or kobbelbrug) I the 1750s, After Abrahm Lehn's death in 1757, Højbygaard and Berritsgård was passed to his son Poul Abraham Lehn.
