Essenbæk Abbey was a Benedictine monastery located in Essenbæk Parish eight kilometers east of Randers and 1.7 kilometer north of Assentoft.
Modern history
After the Reformation, the king confiscated Essenbæk Abbey and its estate in 1540,[7] and when Drastrup was acquired on August 22, 1661, from the king by Hans Friis, there were six farms in the village.[8] Its location on moraine hills shows that agriculture was prioritized there, but cattle were probably kept on the meadows below the village.[2]
The Reformation in Denmark–Norway and Holstein was the transition from Catholicism to Lutheranism in the realms ruled by the Danish-based House of Oldenburg in the first half of the sixteenth century. After the break-up of the Kalmar Union in 1521/1523, these realms included the kingdoms of Denmark and Norway and the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, whereby Denmark also extended over today's Gotland and Øsel in Estonia.
A moraine is any glacially formed accumulation of unconsolidated glacial debris that occurs in both currently and formerly glaciated regions on Earth, through geomorphological processes. Moraines are formed from debris previously carried along by a glacier and normally consisting of somewhat rounded particles ranging in size from large boulders to minute glacial flour. Lateral moraines are formed at the side of the ice flow and terminal moraines at the foot, marking the maximum advance of the glacier. Other types of moraine include ground moraines, till-covered areas with irregular topography, and medial moraines which are formed where two glaciers meet.
A meadow is a open habitat, or field, vegetated by grass and other non-woody plants. They attract a multitude of wildlife and support flora and fauna that could not thrive in other conditions. They provide areas for courtship displays, nesting, food gathering, pollinating insects, and sometimes sheltering, if the vegetation is high enough, making them ecologically important. There are multiple types of meadows, such as agricultural, transitional, and perpetual, each important to the ecosystem. Meadows may be naturally occurring or artificially created from cleared shrub or woodland.
On March 18, 1695, Hans Friis gave[9] Essenbæk Home Farm (Essenbæk Ladegård), including adjoining estates, to his nephew Christian Friis,[10] who on February 15, 1726, incorporated them into the entailed estate of Tustrup.[11] On October 30, 1782, the king gave permission for the sale of the estate, and Essenbæk Home Farm was sold at auction at Tustrup on December 18, 1783, to Christian Kallager; the deed was signed on June 11, 1785.[12]
However, as early as June 10,[13] 1787, he sold it to Peter Severin Fønss and Johan Frederik Carøe.[14] In that year there were in Drastrup six farms, a smallholding and two houses,[15] in which resided 87 people.[16] Before the end of the following year the village was sold to the tenant farmers there,[17] who subdivided it among themselves.[18]
A smallholding is a small farm. In developing countries, smallholdings are usually farms supporting a single family with a mixture of cash crops and subsistence farming. As a country becomes more affluent, smallholdings may not be self-sufficient but are valued primarily for the rural lifestyle that they provide for the owners, who often do not earn their livelihood from the farm. There are an estimated 500 million smallholder farms in the world, supporting almost 2 billion people. Today some companies try to include smallholdings into their value chain, providing seed, feed or fertilizer to improve production. Some say that this model shows benefits for both parties.
Drastrup School in ca. 1880.
A newly built school was opened in Drastrup March 1, 1859,[20] and Drastrup Co-operative Society (Drastrup Brugsforening) was established in 1900.[21]
In the village the Virring-Essenbæk Municipality and the Årslev-Hørning Municipality opened September 1, 1959, the Sønderhald hundred Central School (Sønderhald herreds Forbundsskole),[22] also called the Sønderhald School (Sønderhaldskolen),[23] and February 1, 1960, the previous school there was closed as such.[22] Drastrup Co-operative Society was abolished in 1965,[24] but in 1968 a sports ground and a clubhouse were constructed at the Sønderhald School.[23]
From February 28, 1973,[25] the Sønderhald Municipality decided to expand the residential area of Assentoft East (Assentoft Øst) with inter alia parts of Drastrup, including the Sønderhald School,[25] so that the village is becoming surrounded by Assentoft.[26] However, the village environment, with several farm structures, is relatively well-preserved.

Randers Fjord is a 30 km (19 mi) long Danish fjord in Northern Europe leading to the sea of Kattegat, between Denmark and Sweden. The fjord is the outlet from Denmark's longest river, Gudenaa. The upper 13 km (8.1 mi), starting at the town Randers, looks more like a broad river than a fjord. The lower 17 km (11 mi) have extensive reed plains bordering the shores To some extent this inhibits the recreational use of and access to the fjord. In some places, the reed beds are harvested for traditional roof thatching.
