Rågegården

Rågegården is an Arts & Crafts inspired country house from 1915 situated on the eastern outskirts of Rågeleje, Gribskov Municipality, some fifty kilometres northwest of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Henri Odewahn, one of the owners of C. J. Carøe, a leading Danish importer of tea and spices, purchased a 7 hectares piece of land at the site in 1914.

After Carl Glad had successfully revived his business a few years later, they were in 1937 able to purchase a property at Frederiksholms Kanal and to reacquire Rågegården.

Glad kept the Isotta Fraschini until the early 1970s when it was then sold to his Rågeleje neighbors Rita and Erik Orth.

The property consists of a three winged main building, an L-shaped garage and stable and a small octagonal well house.

The main building is designed in English cottage style with clear inspiration from the Arts & Crafts movement and Baillie Scott.
