Bygholm Manor
Bygholm Castle is a former royal castle and manor house located just south of Horsens, Denmark. It traces its history back to 1313 but the current Baroque buildings date from 1775. Owned by Horsens Municipality, the main building is now run as a hotel while the associated land is a public park and used as fair grounds. History Bygholm Castle was founded in 1313 upon orders from King Eric VI Menved following a revolt among peasants in Jutland. The castle was run by a vassal ('' lensmand''). The most famous of these to reside at Bygholm was Erik Lange, who belonged to Tycho Brahe's social circle but experienced economic ruin, experimented with alchemy and left Bygholm in a state of neglect. As a result, and possibly after a fire in the beginning of the 17th century, later vassals preferred to reside at nearby Stjernholm and the name of the fee was changed accordingly. In 1661, Frederick III ceded the estate to Peder von Ufelen from Hamburg. In 1670 he sold it to Joachim Werner Bü ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
