Erik Plovpenny's daughter Jutta came into possession of Halsted in 1284 but unexpectedly died the same year.

Halsted was a small house, but must have had at least a few income properties; these would normally have been gifted or willed to a monastery in return for prayers for the souls of the recently departed.

The only historical event known to involve the priory was when Prince Erik, the son of Christoffer II, lay at Halsted for 14 days before being moved to his final resting place at Sorø Abbey.

In 1510, the Hanseatic League sacked nearby Nakskov and then sailed up the fjord to Halsted, where they set fire to the priory and both the east and west ranges.

The priory archives were entirely lost; the only remaining document today is a single letter of indulgence dated 1517.

In addition to forced payment of tithes and fees for every conceivable service, peasant tenants were also required to work fields and farms owned by the many religious institutions that were a part of everyday life in Denmark at the time.

Christian II, Denmark's last Catholic king, was exiled, leaving Frederick I on the throne.

Frederik attempted to find a middle ground between the newly fervent Lutherans and the fiercely traditional Catholics.

She resided at nearby Nykøbing Castle, but she expanded the priory complex in 1591 with a new main building, including a grand staircase and prison tower.

From 1670 to 1685, Halsted Kloster and the crown land on Falster served as life estate for dowager queen Sophie Amalie.

In 1719, Frederik IV ceded Halsted Kloster to Jens Juel-Vind in exchange for Juellinge on Zealand.

Juellinge was sold by the Juel Vind family in 1921 and the name Halsted Priory was restored to the property.
