Vindeholme

{{short description|20th-century Danish mansion}} [[Image:Vindeholm aerial.jpg|thumb|200px|Vindeholme seen from above ]] '''Vindeholme''' is an early 20th-century mansion overlooking the [[Baltic Sea]] in the extreme south-western corner of [[Lolland]], [[Denmark]]. It is now rented out as a venue for hunts, weddings and corporate events.

==History== Vindeholme was built by Count Ferdinand Reventlow, a Danish diplomat who sought a place to retire after a long career abroad, most recently as Danish Ambassador to [[Paris]]. He acquired the land from his brother, Count Ludvig Reventlow, who had acquired [[Rudbjerggaard]] manor in 1891. Set amid forests of [[Tilia cordata|small-leaved linden]] trees, the house was completed in 1911 to a design by architect H. C. Amberg,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aok.dk/teater/gasvaerket|title=Gasværket|publisher=AOK|access-date=2010-01-04}}</ref> most known for his restoration work at [[Ribe Cathedral]] and St. Nicolas' Church in [[Copenhagen]].

==Vindeholme today== The current owners of Rugbjerggaard restored the house in 2004 and it is now being rented out for smaller conferences, hunts, corporate events and private celebrations.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lollands-herregaarde.dk/|title=Vindeholme Slot|language=da|publisher=Herregårde på Lolland-Falster|access-date=2012-08-05}}</ref> The estate covers 298 hectares of land.
