Skjoldenæsholm Castle (Danish: Skjoldnæsholm Slot) is a manor house located 11 kilometres north-east of Ringsted, Denmark, standing on the west side of one of the many lakes which dominate the area.

[1][2] Originally located 1.5 km (0.93 mi) to the south of the current house, Skjoldenæs is first recorded in the 1340s when it was owned by the crown and referred to as a "castle of considerable size".

King Christopher II mortgaged the estate to John III, Count of Holstein-Plön (Johan den Milde).

The estate was crown land for an extended period of time, held in fee by various members of the Danish nobility until 1662 when it was ceded to the King's rentemester Henrik Müller (1609-1692).

AIn 1794, Joachimine Danneskiold-Laurvig sold the estate to Anna Marie Bruun de Neergaard (née Møller).

Originally, the red hip roof also covered the three-bay median risalits, found on both sides of the main wing, which received their triangular pediment in connection with a major renovation in 1703.
