Property

Pogwisch was at an early age the owner of Ås (Børglum Herred) but already sold it in 1633. He received Jernit as dowry and succeeded his heaily indebted father-in-law as owner of the estates Palstrup, Aldrupgård, Hagsholm, Løjstrup and Ørs but in 1662-65 had to sell most of them to Mogens Friis;

Pogwisch was again the owner of Palstrup in 1665-72). He was also the owner of Torpegård (until 1669), Haling Hovgård (1665–68), Tyrrestrup (1662–68), Lerbæk ( 1665–72), Ryumgård (1666–72), Hjermeslevgård (1666(?)-68), [2] Hollufgård ( 1667–69), Fodbygård (), Frydendal (from 1671), Saltø (1668-1684), Kongsdal (Tygestrup (1672-), Toftholm () and Vennergård (a share, 1680–84).

In spite of his many estates, Pogwisch struggled with economic difficulties, some of which he had probably taken over from his father-in-law. In 1680, an audit commission concluded that Pogwisch owed 10,000 Danish rigsdaler to the Crown. He was unable to raise the money and had to sell his house in Copenhagen in public auction. [1]
