By 1448, Sønderskov had passed into the ownership of Jakob Nielsen through his marriage to the heir of its former owner.

As he was not of noble descent he was not entitled to own a manor and he therefore chose to transfer the property to Ribe Cathedral Chapter.

It is not known when exactly the cathedral chapter parted with the estate but by 1483 it was owned by Henrik Steen, who was related to Jakob Nielsen's wife.

A new main building with two diagonally placed towers was constructed in the middle of the century.

[2] Peder Galskyt's widow Bege Clausdatter survived her son Albert.

[3] Thomas Juel's nephew Manderup Due inherited Sønderskov from his uncle in 1648.

He was only survived by his wife Christina Margrethe Bachmann (née Claussen) by one year.

On her death in 1746 Sønderskov passed to their daughter, Christine Margrethe Bachmann, who three years later brought it into marriage to Samuel Nicolaus Claudius.

[4] Claudius wanted to improve the management of the estate but ended up losing a legal dispute with copyholders.

The estate changed hands many times over the next decades while many of the copyholds were converted into freeholds and some of the land that belonged to the manor was sold off in lots.

The estate was subsequently owned by members of the Momsen family for over one hundred years.

It is a white-washed brick building with visible wall anchors and a pitched roof clad in red tile.

Another mural is based on one of Jacob de Gheyn's illustrations for the 1717 117 engravings for the military manual The Exercise of Armes.
