Hald Manor

Hald Manor is a single storey building with a 3-storey central section, originally built as a gatehouse in 1798.

He was active in the uprising against King Valdemar IV and was later killed on the way back from failed peace negotiations at Slagelse.

Bugge's son-in-law Skarpenberg took over Hald but soon had to sell it to Queen Margaret I who later gave the estate to the Bishop Seat in Viborg in 1383.

[1] The third Hald was built in 1528 for Jørgen Friis, Bishop of Viborg, on a small peninsula reaching into the lake.

In his ghost story Number 13 (1904) M. R. James writes that Hald is "accounted one of the prettiest things in Denmark".
