History

Rani and Markmand families

A village named Harrested was in the Middle Ages located at the site. Harrestedgård was in the beginning of the 14th century owned by Karl Nielsen Rani.[1]

After his death in 1344, Harrestedgård passed to his two children. his daughter, Ingerd Karlsdatter Rani, the widow of Peder Grubbe, brought her half of the estate into her second marriage with Iven Markmand. Iven Markmand became the sole owner of the estate when his brother-in-law died in 1366. Harrestedgård then remained in the hands of the Markmand family for the next 150 years.

Parsberg family

Jørgen Evertsen Markmand, the last member of the Danish branch of the family, in 1500, sold Harrestedgård to the brothers Jørgen and Tønne Parsberg.

Both Jørgen Markmand and the Parsberg brothers were involved in a feud with Jørgen Rud, who claimed to be entitled to a share in the Harrestedgaard estate. In 1493, King John ruled in favour of Tud but his claim never seems to have been satisfied since he ten years later filed a complain over the treatment of him.

Tønne Parsberg passed Harrestedgård to his son, Verner Tønnesen Parsberg, a pricy counsellor, who played a significant role during the Northern Seven Years' War. Harrestedgaard remained in the hands of the Parsberg family for more than 130 years.

Lykke and Vind
Holger Vind

In 1634, Frederik Parsberg sold the estate to Niels Lykke. He significantly increased the size of the estate. In 1638, it was acquired by Admiral Jørgen Vind. He was in 1755 killed in the Battle of Colberger Heide. Harrestedgård then passed to his three sons. In 1674, Holger Vind bought out his two brothers. In 1676, he was granted royal permission to close down the village of Harrested and placed both the windmill and all the land directly under the manor.[2] In 1679, Holger Vind was appointed as Vice-Chancellor of Danish Chancellery.

Plessen family
Carl Adolf von Plessen

Holger Vind's son, Vilhelm Carl Vind, sold Harrestedgård to Carl Adolf von Plessen. Plessen was already the owner of seven estates on the southern part of Zealand. Having no children, Plessen established De Plessenske Fideikommisgodser. Many of the later owners spent most of their time on their German estates.

Later owners

In 1925. Harrestedgård passed to Baron Johann Ludvig von Plessen. He served as German envoy in Rome. After the Second World War, an act was passed that made it possible to confiscate German property in Denmark. The government confiscated Harrestedgård and part of the land was subsequently sold off in lots.

In 1049, Ove Christian Riisberg purchased the rest of the estate.e Lars Foghsgaard, who had made a fortune on the sale of Scandinavian Mobility,[3] bought Harrestedgård in 1998. In 2002, he sold the estate to Jannik Hartvig Jensen.

Architecture

The oldest parts of the main building date from approximately 1350. The building is constructed in red brick on a foundation of field stone. The building is only 14 metre long. Many of the walls are 1.2 -1.3 m thick and have probably originally supported a two-storey building. This building was reduced to a single storey in the 1840s. 1.6 metres of the old walls were in the same time removed but the building was at the same time extended by more than nine metres to the south. Two east-facing, half-timbered side wings were formerly attached to the main wing. They were probably constructed during the Renaissance and demolished before 1816. An extension to the west side of the building was constructed in 1912. In 1923, a veranda was constructed towards the garden.

The building is now white-washed and has a red tile roof. The building was in 1953 refurbished under supervision of the architect s F. and L. Halleløv. Fredningsstatus 2013: Hovedbygningen er fredet. The building was listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1918.[4]

Today

Harrestedgård was in 2012 acquired by Vincens Chr. C. Lerche after he had ceded Benzonsdal to his son.[5]
