Charlottendal is a historic building and estate situated south of Slagelse, Denmark. Created by Constantin Brun in 1799, it is today part of Antvorskov Barracks.
Antvorskov Hovedgård was in 1799 acquired by Constantin Brun. He imported several families from Switzerland and established a production of Swiss cheese which was mainly exported to oversea markets. He also marketed chopping and threshing machines. Bruun was married to Friederike Brun, a leading salonist of her time.
Bruun created four small estates from part of the land that had previously belonged to Antvorskov Hovedgård, naming them Charlottendal, Augustendal, Idagaard and Karlsgaard, of which the latter four were named after his children. The four new manors were sold to Adam Wilhelm Hauch and Marcus Frederik Voigt in 1806. Charlottendal was sold to Frederik Nielsen Bøgvad (1741–1821) in 1809. [1]
In 1810, Charlottendal was acquired by Hartvig Frisch. Frisch served as director of the Royal Greenland Trading Department. He was also the owner of the Frisch House at Nytorv 5 in Copenhagen and of Vodroffgård outside the city. In 1815 he also purchased Augustendal.
Upon on Frisch's death, Charlottendal and Augustendal were passed down to his sons Frederik Emil and Constantin Frisch. In 1823 Constantin Frisch bought his brother's share of the estates. He merged them into a single estate under the name Charlottendal. [2]
In 1847, Constantin Frisch sold Charlottendal to Carl de Neergaard. He was already the owner of Gunderslevholm and Kastrupgård. [2]
Carl de Neergaard died without children on 2 August 1850. His eldest brother's children drew lots for his estates with Kastrup and Charlottendal going to Charles Adolf Denis de Neergaard. He constructed the current main building of the Charlottendal estate. In 1862, Neergaard also purchased Gyldenholm Manor. The author and educator Zakarias Nielsen wrote his first poetry while working as a tutor on Charlottendal in 1863–1864.
On Charles Adolph Denis de Neergaard's death in 1903, Gyldenholm and Kastrupgård passed to his eldest son Carl. In 1908, Charlottendal was ceded to the younger brother Viggo de Neergaard. He had recently also purchased nearby Valdemarskilde. In 1920, he also purchased Lille Frederikslund. He was married two times, first to Karen Blixen's sister Inger Benedicte Dinesen and later to Elisabeth Lina Perrochet. He was a stakeholder and board member of Blixen's Karen Coffee Company Ltd.
In 1963, D. F. de Neergaard had to sell Charlottendal to the Danish state in connection with the establishment of Antvorskov Barracks. 230 hectares (570 acres) of land on the west side of the main road (formerly Augustendal) were sold to Idagaard, while Idagaardsfonden ceded approximately 50 hectares (120 acres) of woodland to Neergaard's Valdemarskilde as part of the transaction.
