History

Jonstrup Seminarium Jonstrup Seminarium (1940).jpg
Jonstrup Seminarium

A textile mill was established on the site in the middle of the 1770s. In 777, it was acquired by Abraham Schneider. In the follow year, it was detroyed by fire. A large new factiory complex was inaugurated in 1781. In 1809, it was converted into a teachers' academy, Jonstrup Seminarium, which moved to new premises in Kongens Lyngby in 1955. Conveniently located close to the Værløse Air Base, the buildings in Jonstrup were then acquired by the Danish military and converted into the new Royal Danish Air Force Officers School. It moved to the nearby Jonstrup Camp (Jonstruplejren) in 1995. In 1998, Værløse Municipality acquired the building and converted it into a primary school. [1]
