The names of the eight farms were Lindegaarden, Teglgaarden, Eigaarden, Holmegården, Skjoldgaarden, Hyldegaarden, Damgaarden and Skovgaarden.
Many of the farms were converted into country houses, especially after the opening of the Klampenborg Railway made the area more accessible from 1863.
[3] Ordrup developed into a suburb as the farmland was built over with single family detached homes and apartment buildings in the first half of the 20th century.
Places of interest include the art museum of Ordrupgaard[4] and Ordrup Church completed in 1876.
Ordrup railway station built in 1924 is on the Klampenborgbanen S-train radial line providing service to Copenhagen.
