History

In the Middle Ages the estate belonged to the bishops of Ribe. In 1544, it was sold to the nobleman Gunde Lange. His son Hans Lange constructed a new main building later in the century.^[1]

The land was sold off in lots in 1926. The building now houses a school.

Architecture

The original housewas a four-winged complex but only the east and north wings have survived.. The east wing, whichcontains the gate, is decoratd with a ceramic frieze and pilasters. Similar decorations have been found on the courtyard side of the north wig. This kind of terracotta decorations are common in northern Germany but unseen elsewhere in Denmark.^[2]

The west wing from 1942 and the south wing from 1958 were both desigedby Helge Holm.
