Krenkerup is an old manor house located 3 km (2 mi) southwest of Sakskøbing on the Danish island of Lolland. It is one of Denmark's oldest estates and manors, documented as early as the 1330s.[1] Between 1815 and 1938, it was known as Hardenberg.[2]

Reventlow family

In 1731, the Reventlows established a family property consisting of Krenkerup, Rosenlund and Nørregård which in 1815 became the countyship of Hardenberg-Reventlow, including the subsidiary estates of Nielstrup, Sæbyholm and Christiansdal.

In 1774 Juliane Frederikke Christiane Reventlow brought Krenkerup into her marriage to Carl August Hardenberg. Their son Christian Heinrich August Hardenberg-Reventlow became the owner of the estate in 1793. In 1815, he renamed the estate Hardenberg.[4] It was dissolved in 1924.[4] After his death in 1840 the estate was passed to his daughter Ida. Her son Carl adopted the name Holck-Hardenberg-Reventlow.

Today

Covering an area of 3,700 ha (9,100 acres), the estate is one of the largest in Denmark.[4] Today it is an active agricultural concern and also houses a brewery[5] and the only professional full size polo field in Denmark.[6]

Architecture

The three-winged building stands on a narrow, rectangular mound surrounded by a moat. The original stone house from 1490 was extended by statesman Mogens Gøye with three new wings, forming an enclosed courtyard. A tower was added on the west side. In 1631, Palle Rosenkrantz built an extra storey on the north wing and an octagonal tower on the southeast corner.[5] The south wing was destroyed by fire in 1689 and never rebuilt. The entire complex was renovated in 1780.
