Rolighed (Skodsborg)

Rolighed is a former country house in Skodsborg, Rudersdal Municipality, approximately 16 km north of Copenhagen, Denmark.

On 15-16 August, 1807, when the British Army landed their troops at Vedbæk, leading up to the Battle of Copenhagen, they confiscated many of the large country houses along the coast.

After his death in 1822, Rolighed was taken over by his son-in-law, William Frederik Duntzfelt, a merchant and politician.

When Browne returned to Britain in 1862, he sold Rolighed to Ludvig Jens Grøn, the founder of Grøns Varehus, Copenhagen's first department store.

He had been amtmann of the Diocese of Viborg and commissioned the Viborg-based architect Søren Vig-Nielsen to design a new an considerably bigger house which was built between 1927 and 1930.
