Under Bishop [[Jens Andersen Beldenak]] in the early 16th century, the Crown enjoyed ''jus vocandi'' rights for the appointment of clergy. In 1832 it came under the administration of [[Orupgaard]] but obtained independent ownership in 1940.<ref name=natmus>[https://danmarkskirker.natmus.dk/uploads/tx_tcchurchsearch/Maribo_1345-1358_02.pdf Kirsten Weber-Andersen, Otto Norn, Aage Roussell, Gertrud Købke Knudsen, "Systofte Kirke"], ''Danmarks kirker: Maribo amt, Volume 8'', 1951, Nationalmuseet, pages 1327–1335. {{in lang|da}} Retrieved 14 November 2012.</ref>
