To the north is the original Renaissance style manor from 1576, built by Björn Kaas. It was abandoned due to settlements. A new manor was designed by Ferdinand Meldahl (1827–1908) was built in 1850. The newer addition on the estate was built in Romantic, German style in 1849–50, on a hill just south of the old manor. It is a three-story building flanked by two square towers. In 1890, one of the Renaissance buildings needed extensive renovations and only the gables could be saved. [2] [3] [4]
