Svenstrup (manor house)

Svenstrup is a manor house and estate located close to Borup, Køge Municipality, some 50 kilometres southwest of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Shortly thereafter, Svenstrup was looted and burnt down by Niels Pedersen Halveg, one of the king's loyal men.

[3] The former fief was administrated by Johan Christoph von Körbitz in 1662 to 1666..[4] Frederick II used it as a hunting lodge from 1577.

[5] In 1666, Frederik III (1609–1670) gave Svenstrup to Hans Svane, an arch bishop, who had supported the king in the introduction of the absolutism in 1660.

After the divorce, Frederik Oertz sold Svenstrup to Peter Johansen Neergaard who had been appointed to krigsråd.

Jens Bruun de Neergaard is also remembered for his literarydispute with the poet Johan Herman Wessel.

His widow Henny Caroline Julie Moltke passed the estate on to their son Christian Wedell-Neergaard in 1937.
