History
Dragsholm was first established in 1313 as a property belonging to the Diocese of Roskilde. In 1536 ownership passed to the King of Denmark until 1664 when it was given to Henrik Müller as payment for loans extended to the crown. Frederik Christian von Adeler purchased the estate in 1694. In 1784 the property became a barony and the name was changed to Adelersborg. This lasted until lensbaron Georg Frederik Otto Zytphen-Adeler restored the name Dragsholm in 1868.

Records in the possession of FamilySearch are from the time when the estate was known as Adelersborg.
