It is one of Denmark's oldest estates and manors, documented as early as the 1330s.[1] Between 1815 and 1938, it was known as *Hardenberg*.[2] ## History ### Gøye family The first known owner of the estate was Axel Mogensen Gøye.[3] ### Brahe family, 1558–1622 Margrethe Gøye brought the estate into her marriage to Peder Brahe. ### Rosenkrantz family Palle Rosencrantz in 1622. In 1622, Krenkerup was once again transferred to a new noble family, when Otte Pedersen Brahe's widow Elisabeth (née Rosensparre) married to Palle Rosenkrantz. His descendents owned the estate until 1677. ### Reventlow family In 1731, the [Reventlows](/source/Reventlow) established a family property consisting of Krenkerup, Rosenlund and Nørregård which in 1815 became the countyship of Hardenberg-Reventlow, including the subsidiary estates of Nielstrup, Sæbyholm and Christiansdal. ### Hardenberg-Reventlow family Gardenberg on a watercolour by created by [Ole Jørgen Rawert](/source/Ole_J%C3%B8rgen_Rawert) on 2 August 1820. In 1774 Juliane Frederikke Christiane Reventlow brought Krenkerup into her marriage to Carl August Hardenberg. Their son Christian Heinrich August Hardenberg-Reventlow became the owner of the estate in 1793. In 1815, he renamed the estate Hardenberg.[4] It was dissolved in 1924.[4] After his death in 1840 the estate was passed to his daughter Ida. Her son Carl adopted the name Holck-Hardenberg-Reventlow. ## Today Covering an area of 3,700 ha (9,100 acres), the estate is one of the largest in Denmark.[4] Today it is an active agricultural concern and also houses a brewery[5] and the only professional full size polo field in Denmark.[6] ## Architecture The three-winged building stands on a narrow, rectangular mound surrounded by a moat. The original stone house from 1490 was extended by statesman [Mogens Gøye](/source/Mogens_G%C3%B8ye) with three new wings, forming an enclosed courtyard. A tower was added on the west side. In 1631, [Palle Rosenkrantz](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Palle_Rosenkrantz&action=edit&redlink=1) built an extra storey on the north wing and an octagonal tower on the southeast corner.[5] The south wing was destroyed by fire in 1689 and never rebuilt. The entire complex was renovated in 1780. ## List of owners - (1367–1411) Axel Mogensen Gøye - (?–1392) Laurids Nielsen Kabel - (1381–1392) Mogens Gøye - (1411–?)
