Holmegaard is a manor house and estate situated close to Fensmark, Næstved Municipality, some 60 km south of Copenhagen, Denmark.
The estate was acquired by Christian Conrad Danneskiold-Samsøe in 1801 and has remained in the hands of his descendants since then.
His other holdings included Borreby and Ravnstrup on Zealand, Fravgdegaard on Funen and Bonderup in Jutland.
He sold some of the land and later had to leave the country due to his close ties to Corfitz Ulfeldt.
On his return to Denmark, Frederick III forced him to part with Holmegaard in exchange for the much less valuable estate Hevringholm.
[3] On his death bed, Frederick III granted Holmegaard and Broksø to his page (kammerjunker) Otto Krabbe.
Having no children, she bequeathed her estates to her niece, Margrethe Elisabeth Restorff, who was married to Peder Lasson von Post.
In 1792, when he was still a minor, Danneskiold-Samsøe had joined the Council of Samsøe County and the board of Gisselfeld Abbey.
He also bought a number of other estates, including Næsbyholm (1804), Ravnstrup (1805), Bavelse, Aalebæksgaard and Rosendal (1806) and Nordfeld (1820).
He initiated various public works, such as a port at Karrebaeksminde and a hospital in Naestved, He lived with his wife Henriette Danneskiold-Samsøe and their six children at Gisselfeld.
Holmegaard manor and glass factory were passed to her second eldest son Christian Conrad Sophus Danneskiold-Samsøe (1800-1886).
On her death, Holmegaard passed to their younger son Christian Ivar Danneskiold Lassen.
[3] Golmegaard's half-timbered main building stands on an almost quadratic castle bak[clarify] surrounded by moats.
The gate in the main wing features the coat of arms of the Daa family and the inscription "Her Claus Daa til Rafnstrop med sin kære frue Ingeborg Parsberg lod dette hus opsætte, der man skrev efter guds byrd anno 1635".
The south wing was formerly also 21 bays long, but its eastern part collapsed in the late 18th century and was never reconstructed.
