Krenkerup

Krenkerup is an old manor house located 3 km (2 mi) southwest of Sakskøbing on the Danish island of Lolland.

In 1731, the Reventlows established a family property consisting of Krenkerup, Rosenlund and Nørregård which in 1815 became the countyship of Hardenberg-Reventlow, including the subsidiary estates of Nielstrup, Sæbyholm and Christiansdal.

[4] Today it is an active agricultural concern and also houses a brewery[5] and the only professional full size polo field in Denmark.

The original stone house from 1490 was extended by statesman Mogens Gøye with three new wings, forming an enclosed courtyard.

In 1631, Palle Rosenkrantz built an extra storey on the north wing and an octagonal tower on the southeast corner.

Palle Rosencrantz in 1622.
