Brahetrolleborg

關於

Brahetrolleborg (lit. 'Brahetrolle Castle') is a castle about 10 kilometres north-west of Fåborg on the Danish island of Fyn. Before the Reformation, the structure was a Cistercian monastery known as Holme Abbey (Danish: Holme Kloster; Latin: Insula Dei). After the reformation, the property was renamed Rantzausholm in 1568 before receiving its current name in 1667. The estate has been owned by the Reventlow family since 1722. It is currently owned by Catharina Reventlow-Mourier, the 9th generation of the family. Together with the neighboring Brændegård property, the estate covers a total of 2607 hectares, much of which is forest.

The oldest parts of the three-winged main building date from the 14th and 15th centuries. The west wing (1498) was expanded for Heinrich Rantzau in 1568 and the east wing was heightened by Kaj Rantzau in 1620. The church, which forms the fourth wing of the complex, dates to the 13th century. The three-winged main building, the adiacent three-winged home farm (ladegård), a small half-timbered building, a former fairy (1679 and later) are all listed on the Danish register of protected buildings and places. The nearby Brahetrolleborg Eatermill and Brahetrolleborg Hospital are also heritagelisted.
