Listed building in Helsingør, Denmark
Gurrehus is a Historicist country house situated next to Gurre Castle ruin at Gurre, Helsingør Municipality, 4 km west of Helsingør, Denmark. The estate traces its history back to the 16th century when the ruined Gurre Castle was replaced by a royal farm Known as Gurre Vangehus. It was converted into a country house in 1780. Several of its early owners were members of Helsingør’s thriving community of English and Scottish merchants. The present main building was constructed in 1880–82 to designs by Charles Abrahams. It was later adapted and expanded by Prince George of Greece and Denmark whose father, George I of Greece, was a son of Frederick IX of Denmark. It was used by the German occupying forces during World War II. After the war, it was used as a training centre by the Royal Danish Army before returning to private ownership.
Gurrehus traces its history back to the 16th century when the ruined Gurre Castle was replaced by a royal farm Known as Gurre Vangehus. From 1714, it was the seat of the local forester. The name was shortened to Gurrehus in around 1720. The first chief forester to reside at Gurrehus was Viet Christiansen Lintner. He was succeeded by the just 24-year-old Mads Petersen in 1720. He held the office until his death 47 years later. He was in turn succeeded by his son, Christian, who had assumed the last name Munckeberg. He was fired in 1779 after the local peasants had filed a complaint against him.[1] The next chief forester stayed at Kronborggaard. From 1805, the local chief forester resided at Valdemarslund across the road from Gurrehus.[2]
Gurrehus was a four-winged farmhouse, built partly in brick and partly with timber framing, consisting of a 30-bay-long north wing , a 16-bay-long east wing, a 35-bay-long south wing and a 16-bay-long west wing. The north wing had a tile roof and the three others were thatched.
Country house, 1780–1880
[edit]

In 1789, Gurrehus was acquired by chamberlain Hans Balthazar von
Gottberg. In 1796, he sold Gurrehus for 8,200 Danish rigsdaler to David Brown (deed issued on 21 December 1796). Back in the 1779s, Brown had served as Governor of Danish India. He had later lost most of his fortune when the family’s trading firm went bankrupt. From 1801, he also rented a couple of rooms in the Trentwedel House on Stengade in Helsingør. He died in the apartment in 1804.
After BBrown’s death, Gurrehus was sold at auction. The buyer was John Good, an English merchant who had settled in Helsingør in 1775. He was already the owner of the nearby country house Landlyst.[3]
In 1827, Gurrehus was acquired by Edward Brown, youngest son of David Brown. He had returned to Copenhagen after making a fortune in the indigo industry and on trade in India. His city home was an 11-room apartment in Kronprinsessegade. He later suffered great losses on the bankruptcy of India-based Fergusson & Co.. In 1838, he emigrated to Australia.[4]
In 1837, Gurrehus was acquired by another British expatriate, Lord Francis Emanuel Coleman MacGregor, of Inneregny (1783-1876), who served as British consul in Helsingør. He parted with the property just two years later.[1]

The next owner was Jacob Raphael, a son of the owner of the firm Brdr. Raphael in Helsingør. He was married to Thea Jacobe Raphael. She kept the estate after the cople was divorced due to her husbands escalating mental illness. Their daughter Vilhelmine Marie Josephine Raphael was married to the military veterinarian Jacob Bjørnsen. [5] His father, who was the local chief forester, resided at nearby Valdemarslund.[1]
In 1872, Gurrehus was acquired by the merchant Fritz Herskind. He merged Gurrehus with two other Gurre farms, Petersborg (aka Stokkegård) and Slotsgaarden, creating one large farm with a combined area of approximately 230 tønder land.[1]
Tutein and the new building
[edit]

In 1880, Gurrehus was acquired by Frederik Guiseppe Tutein. The new owner’s paternal grandfather was the businessman Friederich Tutein. His maternal grandfather was the opera director Guiseppe Sinoni. He was no short of means, having just inherited a large sum of money from his father, Ferdinand Tutein, who had continued the family trading firm in partnership following the death of their father. Frederik Huiseppe Tutein constructed a new main building with the assistance of the architect Charles Abrahams. The new building was designed in so-called Rosenborg style, a variation of Dutch Renaissance revival architecture inspired by Rosenborg Castle. The estate covered 275 tønder of which 230 tønder were fields and meadows and the remaining 45 tønder were either parkland, bogland (or roads and buildings).[6] Ge aksi increased the size of the estate by merging it with another Gurre farm, Søgaard, creating an estate with a combined area of approximately 370 tønder land.

Tutein’s nephew Ferdinand Tutein (1861-1931) owned the adjacent estate Ørsholt. The nephew was responsible for managing all the land that belonged to the two estates. Since he had no children, it was originally Tutein’s intention to bequeath Gurrehus to the nephew, but after a disagreement between them, he chose instead to sell the property to another party, spending the remainder of his life in Copenhagen.
Prince George of Greece
[edit]
The new owner of Gurreholm was Knuid Trolle Post, a chamberlain and Member of the Royal Hunt (Hofjægermester).
In 1913, Post sold Gurrehus to the Danish-born George I of Greece. From 1888 to 1911, he had owned [[sold Smidstrup Slot at Vedbæk. Since 1903, he had also owned the Gustmeyer House opposite Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen. His new country house was conveniently located close to Fredensborg Palace. He was, however, assassinated just four weeks after purchasing the estate. Gurrehus ws then passed to his second eldest son, Prince George of Greece and Denmark, who was married to Marie Bonaparte.[1]
Prince George had no interest in farming the land. Most of the farm building were therefore demolished in 1918 and most of the land was sold off in the early 1920s. The main building was adapted in a somewhat more restained style with the assistance of Gotfred Tvede. It was also expanded with a new wing.
During World War II, Gurrehus was confiscated by the German occupying forces. After the war, it was used by the Red Cross for housing refugees.[1]
Military installation
[edit]
In 1959, Gurrehus was acquired by the Danish government and put at the dispocal of the Royal Danish Army. In 1966, it was expanded with a new residential wing. It was subsequently used as an educational centre.
The army discontinued their activities at Gurrehus in 1999. The årpåerty was acquired by the property developer Mogens de Linde Gurrehus with the intention of converting it into apartments. The building was left empty for the next few years. On 2005, a local group of residents established an association, Gurrehus’ Venner (Friends of Gurrehus), with the ambition of turning the building into a local cultural centre.
Anders Vestergaard-Jensen bought the property in 2012. He embarked on refurbishing the building with the assistance of architect Lars Gitz. The army’s residential wing from 1966 was demolished.
In 2019, Gurrehus was acquired by Goitness World-founder Henrik Rossing.[3]

Ordrupjøj is a former country house in Ordrup, Gentofte Municipality Copenhagen, Denmark. In the 1940s, it was converted into a social institution.

On 19 October 1798, Peter Erichsen bought 39.5 t’nder of land from the Skovgåtd estate.[1] He constructed a modest country house on a hilltop just north of Ordrup village. It consisted of two single-storey buildings, situated on each their side of a central courtyard. A home farm (avlsgård), later known as Ordrupdal, was constructed just west of the hill. Peter Erichsen was the brother of Erich Erichsen, another businessman and ship-owner, who owned nearby Hellerupgård as well as the Erichsen Mansion in Copenhagen. Peter Erichsen was married to Nancy Agnethe Appleby, a daughter of Peter Appleby. Erichsen named the country house Conradshøj (Conrad’s Mound) after their eldest son. The garden was granddesigned with the assistance of the Hamburg-based French architect Joseph-Jacques Ramée.[2]
Over the next years, Erichsen expanded his estate through the acquisition of more land. In 1801, he bought 4 tønder from the Holmegaard estate. In 1802, he bought 75 tønder from Hovmarksgård, selling 51.5 tønder again shortly thereafter. In the same year, he acquired 6.5 tønder from the widow of a local innkeeper in exchange for 12 tønder from the Hovmarksgård plot.
Changing owners, 1804–1860
[edit]

Peter Erichsen died in January 1804. On 15 June, Nancy Agathe Erichsen (née Appleby) sold Conradshøj 32,000 Danish rigsdaler to Christian Wilhelm Duntzfelt. Shortly tehreafter, Duntzfelt bought Ordrup Lake (now Ellemosen). Duntzfelt renamed the estate Ordruphøj. He intended to construct on new main building but the plans were interrupted by the British invasion in 1807. 83,000 bricks which had been delivered to the estate were thus confiscated by the British troops. Dunt<felt died in 19+0 and never saw his plans realized.
In 1819, Ordruphøj was sold by auction to Christian
Daniel Otte. In 1818, he sold the country house and the hoime farm to different buyers. The country house was sold to the businessman Carl Philip
Borries. The home farm was sold to colonel H. A. Flindt.
In 1832, Borries sold Ordruphøj to Marie Juliane Lütken but reacquired it again two years. alter.In 1838, he sold it to C. C. Tronier, In 1939, Ordruphøj was let out to Adam Oehlenschläger for the summer.
In 1841, Rronier sold Ordruphøj to Henrik Gamst. He kept it until 1954. The two next owners were captain J. L. J. Thorstensøn and country manager H. G. Reinsholm.

In 1860, Ordruphøj was acquired by Carl Berling. Berling was still severely afflicted by the injuries he had sustained in the fire at Frederiksborg Castle, in November of the previous year, and shortly afterwards gave up all his public offices. In 1853–64, he constructed a new main building with the assistance of the architect Hans Conrad Stilling. The new main building was constructed just south of the old driveway. Berling and his wife went on frequent journeys abroad. Berling died in Egypt in 1871. His corps was transported back to Denmark and interred in a mausoleum in Ordruphøjgarden.
Polly Berling had converted to Catholicism in 1869. After her husband’s death, she was able to dispose freely of the land and wealth and wanted to do something for her new faith. Her original intention was to build an orphanage led by Sisters of St. Joseph on the estate but Father Hermann Grüder, Prefect of Denmark, convinced her that there was a greater need for a Jesuit boys’ school.[3]
The architect Ludvig Knudsen was commissioned to design the building. Construction of St. Andrew’s College began in 1871 and it was consecrated on 25 May 1873. It was the third Roman Catholic church to be completed in Denmark since the Reformation. The church was until 1953 used by the Society of Jesus in Denmark. During her visits to Rome, Polly Berling had been particularly fond of the church of Sant’Andrea delle Fratte and the new church and school were therefore dedicated to St. Andrew.
Shortly after the death of her husband, in 1871, Polly Berling stayed at Ordruphøj after her husband’s death. She hired a young Louis Pio as tutor for their children. He spent the nights writing articles for his political magazine Socialisten. When rumors of his controversial political activities began to spread, she let him keep his position, and this did not change even when the police chief urged her to fire him. In 1871, when she went to Switzerland to enroll her sons at the Jesuit college in Feldkirch, she even allowed him to stay at Ordruphøj.
After Polly Bering’s death, Ordruphøj passed to the son Volmer Berling. He was married to Signe Berling, née Hansteen. She owned Ordruphøj as a widow until 1929.
In 1929, Ordruphøj was acquired by Den Danske Landmandsbank. In 1937, it was sold to the businessman H,. J. Andersen. He kept his vast collection of rare books at Ordruphøj. After his death in 1842, Ordruphøj was sold to Det Classenske Fideikommis.
After the turn of the century, the land was gradually built over with single-family detached homes, starting with the Skovkrogen houses at the southern end of Skovgårdsvej. They were later followed by the development along Ordruphøjvej, Berlingsbakke, Ordrupdalvej, Rørsøvej and Kollegievej gennem 1930-erne og ved Kollegiehaven in the 1930s and then and early 1940s.

Maglegård was a country house and local landmark on Strandvej in [[Hellerup}}, Gentofte Municipality, Copenhagen, Denmark. A new main building designed by Ferdinand Meldahl was constructed on the site of the old building in 1860. It was demolished in the 1930s in conjunction with the construction of the Blidah Park housing estate. Today the name subsists in the names Maglegårdsvej (Maglegård Road) and Maglegårdsskolen (Maglegård School).
Maglegård was one of the new farms which were created when the Great Agrarian Reforms were implemented at Bernstorff Palace in the 1760s.[1] It was named after Maglemosen, a large bog situated on the site (Magle– = “Great” in Old Danish; –mosen = “bog”: –gård = “farm”). With an area of 105.5 tønder, Maglegård was the largest of the new farms. The size of the estate was meant to compensate for the fact that a substantial part of the land was not suitable for cultivation, being either meadows or bogland. Its first owner was the farmer Morten Olsen. The estate was bordered by Charlottenlund and Bregnegaard to the north and northwest Oregaard to the south, Tranegaard to the west and the coast to the east.[2]

In 1768 (deed issued on 18 June 1768), Olsen sold Maglegaard for 350 Danish rigsdaler to John Brown. As part of the sales agreement, he kept the old farmhouse in Gentofte and the plot that it stood on. Brown was a Scottish merchant who had settled in Denmark in 1746.[3] He had already bought nearby Hellerupgård. In November 1771, Brown increased his holdings in the area by also acquiring Tranegaard. Brown established a brickyard on his new estate. In June 1781, Brown also bought Gelreuensand (aka Treuensand) for 3,105 Danish rigsdaler from court painter Christian Peter Getreuer‘s heirs. These purchases made Brown the second largest landowner in Gentofte Parish, surpassed only by the Bernstoff’s at Bernstoff Palace.[1]
In the late 1780s, Brown’s trading firm went bankrupt. On 27 May 1789, Maglegård )with Tranegård and Getreuensand) was therefore sold at auction. The byer, with a winning bit of 8,604 rigsdaler, was chamberlain Giedde, who as her trustee, acted on befalf of Louise Brown, Brown’s eldest daughter. Shortly thereafter, she sold Gelreuensand. Maglegård and Tranegård had a combined area of 175 t’nder. The vast estate reached all the way from the coast to [[Bernstorffsvej]9.[1]

In July 1799, Louise Brown sold Maglegård and Tranegaard for 12,432 rigsdaler and 14 skilling to her brother-in-law Gustav Frederik Holck-Winterfeldt (died 1833). As part of the arrangement, John Brown got three rooms on the ground floor of the building at his disposal for the rest of his life time. He died at Maglegaard in 1803. [1]
Hpæcl-Winterfeldt divided the estates into eight parcels of land of which he was only interested in keeping the one with the main building (c. 39.5 tønder). On 6 May 1800, he sold the seven other parcels of land for 5,987 rigsdaler in total. Yjree of the parcels came from land that had belonged to Maglegård. One of them was sold to the owner of nearby Constantia, a restaurateur named Smidt. The two others were sold to ship captain and merchant Jens Lind.[1]
Kohn Brown died at Maglegård on 15 Kanuary 1803. His brother and former business partner David Brown died at Maglegård in 19+4.[1]

In 1811, Maglegaard was acquired by harbour captain and alderman of the Pilots Guild in Copenhagen Erich Eskildsen (1776–1856). He was the son of ship builder and shipyard owner in Copenhagen Erik Eskildsen and the brother-in-law of Peter Norden Sølling.[4] He kept the estate until his death 45 years later. In 1856 (deed issued on 24 December), Maglegaard was sold to chamberlain Fritz Holsten-Lehn-Charisius, holder of the Barony of Lehn. He chose to demolish the old main building and charged the architect Ferdinand Meldahl with the design of a new one. The building was completed in c. 1860.[1]
Holsten-Lehn-Charisius diedin 1888. In 1889, Maglegård was sold to A. F. Ibsen. In 1895, he sold the estate to master carpenter S. M. Grumstrup and master mason M. Langberg. They redeveloped part of the remaining land, establishing the streets Annasvej, Bengtasvej, Sigridsvej and Edlevej.[1]
In 1901, Maglegård’s main building and what remained of the park was sold to businessman Peter Karberg (1840–1022). Karberg was a former founding partner of Hong Kong-based Arnhold, Karberg and Co., a continuation of the British company Oxford & Co. of which he had also been a partner. Ge had returned to Denmark in 1891.[5] In 1803, Karberg bought two adjacent properties, properties Taffelbay (Jens Lind’s former country house) and Lille Taffelbay. In the same year, he heightened Meldahl’ with one floor. This was done with the assistance of the architect A. Thejll.[6]
In 1933, Karberg’s widow sold three three properties to a consortium, A/S Øreparken. Later in the same year, A/S Øreparken purchased another old country house, Blidah, rememberred for having belonged to the painter Lorentz Frølich. The name of the consortium was changed to A/S Blidah. All the existing buildings were demolished to make way for a Functionalist housing estate. The development was designed by the architectural firm Kooperative Arkitekter. The wasterplan was created by the architects Edvard Heiberg og amd Ivar Bentsen created the masterplan. 10 architects (including Heiberg and Bentsen) were involved in the design of the 20 individual buildings.[7]

Alleenberg was an entertainment venue situated on Frederiksberg Allé in the Frederiksberg district of Vopenhagen, Denmark.
On 20 November 1784, Andreas Kirkerup bought a piece of land on the site from Georg Retz. Retz owned the large property Retzenborg at the corner of Frederiksberg Allé and Allégade.[9]
Two years later, Kirkerup sold the property to Gartner Friderich Naumann. During his ownership it was let out to restaurateur Carl Christian Carlsen. On 31 December 1792, Carlsen bought it for 4,2000 Danish rigsdaler. The building on the site was described as an 11-bays-long and nine-bay-wide, two-storey building.
On 20 January 1806, Carlsen sold Alleenberg to the Businessman Israel Ioachim Behrend. Berendt closed the restaurant and converted the building into his summer residence. On 17 September 1812, he had five of his children baptized in the local Frederiksberg Church. Frederick VI, Queen Marie
Sophie Frederikke, Crown Prince Christian (VIII) and Princess Caroline were all present at the event.

borgerlige Publikum, der regnede Søndageftermiddags Besøgene paa Alleenberg
for deres bedste Fornøjelser.
Hen paa Efteraaret afholdt hun — med Tivoli som Forbillede — saakaldte
»Georginefester«, og ved en af disse, den 4. September 1849, var der anvendt
ikke mindre end ca. 40,000 forskellige Georginer og Blomster som Dekorationer.
Fra Hovedindgangen til den store Pavillon var der rejst en 8 Alen høj Løvhal,
foran hvilken der i Følge Madam Kehlets Avertissement i »Adresseavisen« stod
»vor højtelskede Kong Frederik den 7des Buste i et Blomsterbæger omgiven af
Dannebroge i Georginer«.
Efter at Madam Kehlet havde opgivet Forretningen, kom denne paa andre
Hænder, men Alleenbergs Glansperiode var forbi, og Tonen herude blev en
anden end i den Kehletske Periode. Peter Faber omtaler saaledes Alleenberg i
en Vise »Den glade Svend«, som han skrev til »Arbejderforeningen af 1860«:
Højt Sommerlyst jeg prise maa,
der kan man Chokolade faa,
Alleenberg kan ogsaa gaa,
men Tonen er lidt raa.
Er det mørkt, man risikerer let,
at man saadan faar paa Hovedet.
At faa een i Alleen, og gi’e To eller Tre
Er en sand Fornøjelse.

The daughter Sophie Cathrine Fiedler (died 1881) was married to bookkeeper in the Royal Fire Insurance Company Charles Matthæus Philip Petit (1887-1821). The daughter Charlotte Christine Fiedler (1791-1765) was married to merchant Carl Hudtwalcker (1782-1854). The youngest daughter
Christiane Caroline Fiedler (1683-1858( was married to royal surveyor Joachim Otto Sommer (1781-1823)).
