It was listed in the [[Listed buildings in Lolland Municipality|Danish registry of protected buildings and places]] in 1964.
==History== The [[Reventlow family]] were major landowners on Lolland. [[Pederstrup|Pederstrip Manor]] was the centre of their holdings on the island. The Reventlow Asylum in [[Horslunde]] was constructed in 1824 as a home for six to eight old women. It is located opposite the village's old poorhouse from the 18th century. Prime minister [[D.F. Reventlow]] is interred at Horslunde Cemetery next to the building. The dilapidated building was subject to a comprehensive restoration in the 1990s. It was carried out by the [[Vordingborg]]-based architecture firm Arp & Nielsen.<ref name="Kulturstyrelsen">{{cite web|url=https://www.kulturarv.dk/fbb/sagvis.pub?sag=10252920|title=Sag: Reventlow-asylet, Horslunde|language=Danish|website=Kulturstyrelsen|access-date=16 June 2022}}</ref>
==Architecture== The building is constructed with timber framing but plastered, leaving the timber framing only visible on the upper parts of the gables. The main entrance is located in a curved [[avant-corps]] on the north side of the building. The building has a [[hop roof|half-hipped]], thatched roof. The roof ridge is pierced by a white-plastered chimney.<ref name="Kulturstyrelsen"/>
==Today== The building is now used by the local congregation as well as by the grave-digger at Horslunde Church.
