Ny Stokkerup

New Stokkerup) is a former country house in Springforbi, Lyngby-Taarbæk Municipality, some ten kilometres north of central Copenhagen, Denmark.

The present house was constructed in 1933 for Bøje Benzon [da] to designs by architect Henning Hansen.

It is one of few surviving features from a garden created for Benzon by Carl Theodor Sørensen in 1934.

Stokkerup was originally the name of a small village located a little to the southwest of where the Hermitage Hunting Lodge stands today.

The entire area along the coast (Stokkerupgaard and Stokkerup Kro) was acquired by the Drewsen family at Strandmøllen in 1697.

In the first half of the 19th century, Johan Christian Drewsen began to sell the land off in lots.

Another daughter, Johanne, who married the sculptor Vilhelm Bissen, died in labour with their first child.

Earlier in his career, Hansen had already designed the summer residence Hegnslund for Frederik Hegel in the same area.
