History

Adeler and Berner families, 1627-1809

Frederik Adeler

Algestrup was originally the name of a village. In 1688, it consisted of nine farms. After the Reformation, it was confiscated by the Crown and included in Dragsjolm Fief. From 1700, it belonged to the newly established Egemarks Manor. [1] In 1728, Frederik Adeler inherited Egemarks after his father, Friderich Christian Adeler til Dragsholm (died1726), a prefect of Zealand and major landowner, who had bought it in auction in 1719. Ub 1735, Adeler was granted royal permission to replace the village of Algestrup by a manor of the same name. [1]

In 1759, he was sent to Norway as amtmann . He then ceded Algestrup and Egemærke to his son-in-law, Helmuth Gotthardt von Barner. A military officer, Barner reached the rank of lieutenant-colonel in 1756 and colonel in 1769. [2] In 1756, Adeler was granted royal permission to dissolve the village and turn it into a new manor. The land that had belonged to Gammelrands was also included in the new estate. [3]

Berner's wife, Louise Christiane von Adeler, died just 28 years old in May 1759. He was later married second time with Henriette Margrethe von Lente-Adeler, a daughter of Theodor von Lente-Adeler of Lykkesholm and Leopoldine Cathrine Jørgensdatter Rosenkrantz. Sje kept the estate after her husband's death. In 1773, she ceded it to their son Theodor von Barner. [1]

Changing owners, 1809-1867

Johannes Schartau, a merchant from Copenhagen, purchased the estate in 1809. He was like many others hit by the economic crisis of the 1810s and in 1823 Algestrup was sold in a forced sale. The buyer was the crown and a new main building was subsequently built on the estate.

In 1842, Algestrup was again sold in a public auction. The buyer was this time timber merchant Hans Hansen. In 1854, Algestrup was sold to Vilhelm Maag. [2]

Lemvigh family, 1867-present

Jacob Christian Henrik Lemvigh (18661935),, a son of a parish priest in Krummestrup and Fuglebjerg, purchased Algestrup in 1867. He had previously leased Holtegaard. In 1919, he ceded the ceded Algestrup to his daughter Charlotte Lemvigh. On her death, it was passed to her niece, Edith Hedemann Lemvigh, who in turn left it to her nephew Ib Holger Lemvigh (1929-2015). He was succeeded by his son of the same name.

A side wing was hit by fire in 2019. [4]
