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 overseas markets. He also modernized the management with the introduction of chopping and threshing machines. Bruun was married to Friederike Brun, a leading salonist of her time. [1] Idagaard was named after his daughter Ida Brun. [2]

Bruun created four small estates from part of the land that had previously belonged to Antvorskov Hovedgård, naming them Idagaard, Charlottendal, Augustendal and Karlsgaard after his children. [1]

In 1806 all the estates were sold to Adam Wilhelm Hauch and Marcus Frederik Voigt. They immediately began to sell them to different buyers. Idagaard was acquired by Ole Rasmussen Schou. In the 1830s, it was acquired by L. Trolle. The next owners were William C. Mourier and then L. T. Schultz. In 1878, Schultz sold Idagaard to S. Spandet. [1]

Hvid and the Idagaard Foundation

In 1818, Idagaard was acquired by Jens Hvidberg. He and his wife owned the estate for more than 30 years. [3] In 1941, they established the Idagaard Foundation. [1]

In 1963, Idagaard acquired 220 tønder (barrels) of land from Charlottendal. Charlottendal had been expropriated by the Danish state in conjunction with the establishment of Antvorskov Barracks. Charlottendal's former owner, D. F. de Neergaard, who also owned Valdemarskilde, acquired 100 tønder of forest from Idagaard as part of the arrangement. Much of the original Idagaard estate has later been sold off for urban redevelopment. Most of the land that remains is therefore the land that previously belonged to Charlottendal (and before that to Augustadal). [2]

Architecture

The main building is from 1880. It is a single-storey, white-plastered building with a half-hipped roof clad in red tile. [1]

Today

Idagaard is one of four estates owned by the Idagaard Foundation. The three others are Lerchenfeld in Vedbynørre (acquired in 2013), Saxbroholm (acquired in 2016) and Skelbækgården (acquired 2019). The land is managed by the owner of Svendsholm. [2]
