Kærstrup

Denmark, Denmark

---

Kærstrup (also known as Kjærstrup) is one of the oldest manor estates on the island of Lolland in southeastern Denmark.

Its history can be traced back to the Middle Ages, and the estate has been owned by several prominent Danish noble families over the centuries, including the Gøye and Raben families. The present manor house was built around 1765 on the foundations of older buildings. It features a distinctive half-timbered design, later additions such as a central tower, and is surrounded by water, parkland, and a historic Baroque-style garden.

The property is protected as a listed historic building and remains an important example of Danish manor architecture. Today, Kærstrup remains a private estate covering several hundred hectares of farmland and woodland. Its long history, well-preserved manor house, and picturesque setting make it a notable part of Lolland’s cultural heritage.
