Created by [[Constantin Brun]] in 1799, it is today part of [[Antvorskov barracks|Antvorskov Barracks]].
==History== ===Early owners, 1797{{ndash}}1810=== [[Image:Friederike Brun and Charlotte.jpg|thumb|160px|Friederike Brun with daughter Charlotte, painting by [[Erik Pauelsen]] (1780)]] In 1799, Antvorskov Hovedgård was acquired by [[Constantin Brun]]. He imported several families from [[Switzerland]] and established a production of [[List of Swiss cheeses|Swiss cheese]] primarily for overseas export. He also promoted innovative agricultural machinery, including chopping and [[threshing machine]]s. Bruun was married to [[Friederike Brun]], a leading [[Salon (gathering)|salonist]] of her time.
Bruun created four small estates from part of the land that had previously belonged to Antvorskov Hovedgård, naming them Charlottendal, Augustendal, [[Idagaard]] and Karlsgaard, of which the latter four were named after his children. The four new manors were sold to Adam Wilhelm Hauch and Marcus Frederik Voigt in 1806. Charlottendal was sold to Frederik Nielsen Bøgvad (1741{{ndash}}1821) in 1809.<ref name="danskeherregaarde">{{cite web|url=https://www.danskeherregaarde.dk/nutid/charlottendal|title=Charlottendal|language=Danish|website=danskeherregaarde.dk|accessdate=14 September 2021}}</ref>
===Frisch family, 1810{{ndash}}1847=== [[File:Hartvig Marcus Frisch by C. A. Lorentzen.png|thumb|160px|Hartvig Frisch]] In 1810, Charlottendal was acquired by [[Hartvig Marcus Frisch (1754–1816)|Hartvig Frisch]], director of the [[Royal Greenland Trading Department]]. He also owned of the [[Frisch House]] at [[Nytorv]] 5 in Copenhagen and of [[Vodroffsvej|Vodroffgård]] outside the city. In 1815 he purchased Augustendal as well.
Following Frisch's death, Charlottendal and Augustendal were passed down to his sons Frederik Emil and Constantin Frisch. In 1823, Constantin Frisch bought his brother's share of the estates. He merged them into a single estate under the name Charlottendal.<ref name="kroneborg">{{cite web|url=https://www.kroneborg.dk/284/charlottendal|title=Charlottendal|language=Danish|website=kroneborg.dk|accessdate=14 September 2021}}</ref>
===Neergaard family=== [[File:Charles Adolph Denis de Neergaard.jpg|thumb|160px|Charles Adolph Denis de Neergaard]]In 1847, Constantin Frisch sold Charlottendal to [[Carl Neergaard (1800–1850)|Carl de Neergaard]]. He was already the owner of [[Gunderslevholm]] and Kastrupgård.<ref name="kroneborg" />
Carl de Neergaard died without children on 2 August 1850. His eldest brother's children drew lots for his estates with Kastrup and Charlottendal going to Charles Adolf Denis de Neergaard. He constructed the current main building of the Charlottendal estate. In 1862, Neergaard also purchased [[Gyldenholm|Gyldenholm Manor]]. The author and educator {{Interlanguage link|Zakarias Nielsen|da}} wrote his first poetry while working as a tutor on Charlottendal in 1863{{ndash}}1864.
On Charles Adolph Denis de Neergaard's death in 1903, Gyldenholm and Kastrupgård passed to his eldest son Carl. In 1908, Charlottendal was ceded to the younger brother Viggo de Neergaard. He had recently also purchased nearby Valdemarskilde. In 1920, he also purchased Lille Frederikslund. He was married two times, first to [[Karen Blixen]]'s sister Inger Benedicte Dinesen and later to Elisabeth Lina Perrochet. He was a stakeholder and board member of Blixen's Karen Coffee Company Ltd.
In 1963, D. F. de Neergaard had to sell Charlottendal to the Danish state in connection with the establishment of Antvorskov Barracks. {{Convert|230|ha|acre}} of land on the west side of the main road (formerly Augustendal) were sold to Idagaard, while Idagaardsfonden ceded approximately {{Convert|50|ha|acre}} of woodland to Neergaard's Valdemarskilde as part of the transaction.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://idagaard.dk/historie/|title=Idagaard|language=Danish|website=Idagaard|accessdate=14 September 2021}}</ref>
==Architecture== The main building is a one-storey brick building with a gabled [[avant-corps|median risalit]] and a red tile roof. It is flanked by two detached secondary wings.
==Surroundings== The garden is located to the west of the main building. The estate comprises a number of smaller woodlands, including Slagelse Lystskov, Karlsgaard skov, Nykobbel, Kalven and Charlottendal skov. Two lakes, Grønsø and Rørsø, are located in Charlottendal Skov. A larger lake known as Ny Sø, which was the site of a watermill, has been reclaimed.
