Gyldensten Estate, Odense, Denmark

DenmarkOdense Gyldensten estate

History
Gyldensten (also called Gyldensteen) was originally called Enggård and for many years owned by the Skinkel family. In the 1500s this farm and estate, among others, were owned by members of the Daa family, but the estate's history was also marked by a number of property ownership disputes. In the 1600s, it was owned in turn by the Rud, Krabbe, Scheel and Rosenkrantz of Enggård families. In 1718 the estate was deeded to war Commissioner Christian Carl Gabel, who was also the owner of the nearby farms, Oregård and Uggerslevgård, in addition to other estates on Fyn. A French immigrant, Jean Henri Huguetan, who in 1717 was made a Danish Count, bought Enggård with the adjoining property of Gabel. In 1720 he had his acquisitions elevated to the status of county under the name of Gyldensteen. After his death in 1749, the estate passed into the women's line and came thus to Count Johan Heinrich Knuth. After Count Knuth's death the Gyldensteen estate passed to his daughter, Constance Frederikke Henriette Knuth, who brought Jerstrup manor into the estate's ownership. Constance's son from her first marriage, Andreas Erich Heinrich Ernst Bernstorff, received the estate and in 1829 acquired Harritslevgård followed by Sandagergård in 1834. In the rest of the 1800s and 1900s the estate has been in the possession of the family Bernstorff-Gyldensteen. The county was transferred in 1922 to free property, and the estate was subdivided into the estates of Uggerslev, Oregård and Hugget.
