Jens Krag-Juel-Vind

Jens Krag-Juel-Vind (15 June 1724 – 30 April 1776), Baron of Juellinge, was a Danish nobleman, Supreme Court justice and landowner.

[1] He was born at Juellinge (now Halsted Priory), the son of Jens Juel-Vind (1694-1726) and Ide Helle Margaretha, Baroness Krag (1697-1738).

His father died when he was just two years old and Juellinge was then managed by his maternal uncle Niels Juel Reedtz (1699-1742) of Palsgaard and by Joachim Gersdorff.

In 1738, he also inherited the estate ( stamhuset) of Stensballegaard at Horsens following the death of his mother, Ida Helle Margarethe Krag.

[8] He married Sophie Magdalene von Gram (1734-1810) on 6 April 1752 in Christiansborg Chapel in Copenhagen.

[9] They had six children of which only three survived to adulthood: During the 1750s, Krag-Juel-Vind and his wife donated an altarpiece and a canopy for the baptismal font to Halsted Church.

His marble sarcophagus by neoclassical sculptor, Johannes Wiedewelt (1731–1802), was transferred to Uth Church in 1802.
