==History== ===Early history=== In the 13th century Orebygaard belonged to the crown, It seems to have played an important role in the defence of the coast against the Vens. The first known private owner was Sivert Lauridsen, a nobleman, who owned the estate from 1315 to 1316.<ref name=DH>{{cite web|url=https://www.danskeherregaarde.dk/nutid/orebygaard|title=Orebygaard|language=Danish|website=danskeherregaarde.dk|accessdate=30 January 2019}}</ref>
Some sources mention Erik Sjællandsfar, possibly an illegitimate son of [[Christopher II of Denmark|Christopher II]] or [[Eric VI of Denmark|Erik Menved]], but this is contested by other sources.<ref name="Kulturstyrelsen">{{cite web|url=http://ftp.danbbs.dk/~stst/slaegt_adel/sjaellandsfar_ii.htm|title=Sjællandsfar [II]|language=Danish|website=Kulturstyrelsen|access-date=16 June 2022}}</ref> According to the first-mentioned sources, Sjællandsfar's daughter Bodil Eriksdatter brought it into her marriage with Laurids Jensen Blaa. Their sons, Sivert and Oluf Lauridsen Blaa, divided the estate in two. This lasted until the beginning of the 16th century when Mads Eriksen Bølle obtained full ownership of the estate. Bølle supported [[Christian II of Denmark|Christian II]] during the [[Count's Feud]] and his estate was on several occasions looted by citizens from [[Sakskøbing]]. His grand daughter, Birgitte Bølle, brought Orebygaard into her marriage with Christoffer Gøye, a son of [[Mogens Gøye]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kvinfo.dk/side/597/bio/296/origin/170/|title=Birgitte Bølle (ca. 1530 – 1595)|language=Danish|publisher=Kulturstyrelsen|accessdate=30 January 2019}}</ref> They were major landowners but had no children. Orebygaard was therefore passed on to one of Birgitte Bølle's more distant relatives, Axel Ottesen Brahe. whose son sold it to Jakob Ulfeldt in 1618. It was then owned by members of the Ulfeldt family until Sophie Ulfeldt brought it into the Holck family through her marriage to Christian Christopher Holck.<ref name=DH/>
===Lehn family=== [[File:Portrait of Poul Abraham Lehn.jpg|thumb|left|160px|[[Poul Abraham Lehn]]]] In 1775, Orebygaard was sold in auction to [[Poul Abraham Lehn]].

In 1803, Højbygaard and Lungholm were converted into a ''stamhus'' under the name Sønderkarle.
===Rosenørn-Lehn family=== [[File:Orebygaard.jpg|thumb|The new main building.]] When Poul Abraham Lehn died in 1804, Guldborgland was passed on to his grand daughter Christiane Henriette von Barner. She married Otto Ditlev baron Kaas-Lehn on 1 September that same year but he died in 1811. In 1820, she was married for a second time to Henrik Christian Rosenørn. Henrik Christian Rosenørn was shortly thereafter created ''[[Freiherr|friherre]]'' under the name Rosenørn-Lehn.

==Architecture== [[File:Orebygård altertavle 5.JPG|thumb|160px|Detail from Orebygaard's altarpiece by Henrik Werner which is now on display in the [[National Museum of Denmark|National Museum]] in [[Copenhagen]]]] [[Hans van Steenwinckel the Elder]] constructed a new main building for Birgitte Bølle in 1578 to 1587. It was a one-winged, two-storey brick building with a tower in each end. In 1638, it was expanded with a chapel to the southwest. Christiane Henriette von Barners modernized the main building in 1813 to 1815 with assistance of J. Chr. West. The two towers were removed and the exterior adapted to the [[Neoclassical architecture|Neoclassical]] style. The building received its current appearance when it was adapted by the architect Petersen in 1872 to 1874.
