Kvistgård

It is situated in the fork between the Helsingør Motorway to the east, separating it from Espergærde, and Helsingørsvej (part of National route 9) to the west.

[1] The first known reference to the village of Nyrup (Nuthorp) is in a letter from Pope Alexander III dated 2 November 1178.

Nyrup was located at the site where the two royal roads (kongeveje) from Frederiksborg and Hirschholm Palace met before continuing to Helsingør and Kronborg.

Havreholm Fabrikker A/S a manufacturer of wood products, moved to a new site next to Kvistgård Station after a fire in 1897.

The area remained relatively open until the middle of the 20th century but was gradually surrounded by residential neighbourhoods, workshops, a few shops and new industries.

[3] Kvistgård's former main building today houses the only Rudolf Steiner school in the North Zealand area.

Helsingørsvej, part of National route 6, connects Kvistgård to Fredensborg, Hillerød, Slangerup, and Roskilde.
