During the Reformation, Allerslev Church was confiscated by the Crown.The church was later presented to Sidsel Grubbe by Christian V. The church was later owned by Christen Fransen Toxværg (1673{{ndash}}1728). In the 1750s, it belonged to one ''kammerassessor'' Bruun. By 1654, it had come under Jungshoved Manor. By 1803, it belonged to Engelholm. Later in the century, it was transferred to Oremandsgaard. In 1861, Alfred Hage bought the estate.
