History

The early history of the estate is unclear but the two small villages of Basnes and Nybølle were in the 14th century located at the site where Basnæs stands today. In 1366, Niels Pedersen pledged two farms in Basnes and two farms in Nybølle to Thure Knudsen. In 1400, the farms were acquired by the Busjios of Roskilde. In 1410 they were owned by abbot Matz in Næstved. In 1417, the farms in Nybølle were acquired by Jakobsen Lunge. Basnæs is first mentioned in 1426. After Jakobsen Lunge's death in 1428, Basnæs passed to his brother Ove Jakobsen Lunge. In 1451, he was succeeded by his son Thyge Lunge. Tyge Lunge's son-in-law, Jesper Krafse, inherited Basnæs in 1460. The estate then remained in the hands if the Krafse family for the next one hundred and fifty years. Margrethe Hansdatter Krafse, who had inherited the estate in 1602, was later married to Otto Brahe. They had no children and after their deaths Basnæs was therefore, in 1614, passed to her husband's sisters, Birgtte and Helvig Brahe. Helvig Brahe's share of the estate was in 1623 ceded to Henrik Wisch and shortly thereafter to Christian IV. In circa 1626, Basnæs was acquired by Axel Arenfeldt, who had already acquired the other share of the estate. The buildings had by then fallen unto neglect and Arenfeldt therefore began the construction of a new main building. He also increased the size of the estate to one of the largest on Zealand. After his death in 1647, Basnæs passed to his sons, Jakob and Jørgen Arenfeldt, and by 1676 it had passed to their relative Anna Ramel. In 1681, it was ceded to her brother, Ove Ramel. who once again increased the size of the estate through the acquisition of more land. Ove Ramel's widow, Mette Rosenkrantz, sold Basnæs in 1685. The new owner of Basnæs was Christian Bielke. Bielke omcreased the size of the estate even further and improved its management. His third wife, Vibeke Juel, who had become a widow in 1694, married Gregers Juel in 1701. He sold the estate in 1705. The new owner was Poul Eggers. In 1716, Basnæs was sold in public auction and the estate then changed hands 1q6 times over the next one hundred years. One of the owners, Jakob Lawson, converted Basnæs into a in 1777. The legal effect of a was that the estate could neither be sold, pledged or divided between heirs. Stamhuset Basnæs was, however, already dissolved in 1783. In 1809, Basnæs was acquired by Frederik Fiedler. His widow, Juliane Marie Sporon, kept the estate until her death in 1837. In 1838, Basnæs was acquired by Jacob Brønnum Scavenius. His wife, Henriette, was the daughter of count Otto Joakim Moltke of nearby Espe Manor. The writer

Henriette Scavenius kept the estate after her husband's death. Their son, Otto Jacob Brønnum Scavenius, constructed a new main building. In 1907, Basnæs was acquired by count Eiler Moltke. In 1933, he sold the estate to De Forenede Cichorietørrerier A/S. In 1952, it was converted into an independent company, Basnæs A/S.
