Turebyholm

Turebyholm is a manor house in Faxe Municipality, some fifty kilometres southwest of Copenhagen, Denmark.

The current Rococo-style main building was constructed by royal architect Niels Eigtved in 1750.

Bølle was opposed to Christian III and the introduction of Protestantism but was nonetheless allowed to keep his fief after the Crown confiscated all church land after the Reformation.

The fief also comprised four farms and 12 houses in the village and around a hundred copyholds scattered across a large area.

Turebyholm was in the same time granted the status of birk.Gøye dissolved the remaining four farms in Tureby and placed the land directly under the manor.

After Otto Gøye's death in 1642, Turebyholm passed to his brother, Eskild, but he allowed Birgitte Thott to stay on the estate.

Thott led a quiet life at Turebyholm but had to flee to Sorø during the Second Northern War when Swedish troops ravaged and looted on Zealand In Eskild Gøye's death in 1664, Turebygaard passed to Henrik Gøye.

[2] Redtz left Turebyholm heavily in debts to his widow, Anne Ramel, who managed to keep it until her death.

Both sides of the building feature a median risalit tipped by a triangular pediment with sandstone ornamentation.
