Severin Leopoldus Løvenskiold

Severin (Søren) Leopoldus Løvenskiold (31 December 1719 - 9 April 1776) was a Norwegian timber merchant who moved to Denmark..

He and his wife Magdalene Charlotte Hedevig Løvenskiold [da] belonged to the circle around Andreas Peter Bernstorff.

[1] On his father's death in 1750, Løvenskiold inherited the estates Aggersvold and Birkholm in Denmark as well as Holden iron works in Norway.

From 1771, Inger Schubart, a relative of Severin Løvenskiold, lived at Løvenborg with her daughters Charlotte and Sybilla, who later married Heinrich Ernst Schimmelmann and Ludvig Reventlow respectively.

The poets Johannes Ewald and Jens Baggesen were also among the guests of their home, as was the theologian N. E. Balle and the eudcator H.V.

Cabinet Secretary Ove Høegh-Guldberg was also among the guests at Løvenborg, but when it became known in 1780 that he was responsible for Bernstorff's removal, Løvenskiold broke all ties with him.
