Sæbyholm

The estate was originally known as Sæbygård. In 1355, Ludvig Albertsen Eberstein granted it to Halsted Priory. In circa 1400, it was ceded to the Crown.

In 1565, Frederick II gave Sæbygaard to Burchard von Papenheim who had until then been the lensmand of the estate. After Papenheim's death in 1590, it was passed to his son-in-law Eiler Rud. He was already the owner of Utterslevgård. After Rud's death in 1618, Sæbygård and Utterslevgård was passed to his only child, Borkvard Rud, He constructed new buildings on the Sæbygård estate, drained the land and constructed dykes to protect it from flooding. He died as the last male member of the family in 1647. His widow, Helvig Jakobsdatter Rosenkrantz. kept the estate until 1660 when it was ceded to Rud's cousin, Lene Rud.[1]

After Lene Rud's death in1671, her heirs sold the estate to Helmuth Otto von Winterfeldt. He served as lord chamberlain from 1670 to 1789. He created the Barony of Vintersborg from the estates in 1673. He renamed Sæbygård Sæbyholm and expanded the estate significantly through the acquisition of more land.

Frederik Christian Holck-Winterfeldt chose to dissolve the barony in 1801 and then ceded Sæbyholm to count Christian Heinrich August Hardenberg-Reventlow in exchange for Fjellebro and Skovgaard. Christian Heinrich August Hardenberg-Reventlow managed Sæbyholm as a farm under Krenkerup, the centre of the countship he had created in 1815. A new main building was constructed for Ida Augusta Hardenberg-Reventlow in 1856.[2]

The Countship of Hardenberg-Reventlow was dissolved in 1925 as a result of the lensafløsningsloven of 1919. Henrik Ludwig Erdmann Georg Haugwitz-Hardenberg-Reventlow parted with 230 hectares of land from the Sæbyholms estate in connection with the transaction.

The buildings were delisted in 2012. They were demolished in 2013.[3]
