Rammegaard is a manor house and estate situated southwest of Lemvig, between Nissum Fjord and Nissum Bredning (Nissum broad), in northwest Jutland, Denmark. From 1681 until 1798 the estate was owned by the Barons of Rysensteen but was not part of the barony. The current main building is from 1916. Rammedige, a 410 m long protected defensive rampart, is situated close to the manor house. It is said to date from a conflict with king Angul. [1]

History

From the late 15th century it was owned by several generations of the family Spend, and after 1586 the Skram family. [1] Especially in the period 1637-1661 the estates economy was in poor shape as the rivalries between Denmark and Sweden sent armies fighting and plundering over the land. [1]

In 1682 the estate was sold to Baron Christian Juul of Rysensteen in whose family (see Henrik Rysensteen) it remained until 1798, although no baron ever lived at Rammegaard. [1] In 1798 the estate and manor was auctioned to two individuals (Peter Severin Fønss and Ulrik Chr. von Schmidten) who specialised in breaking up estates and selling parcels of land, so throughout the 19th century ownership of the manor changed many times. [1]
In 1905 the house and farm were bought by J L Laursen who had first been employed at Rammegaard as a lowly herd boy. Laursen gained an education in dairy production and built a new manor house in 1916. Laursen's family lived on the estate until 1960. [1]

An event

On 24 December 1811 two British warships (HMS St George and HMS Defence (1763) were driven ashore at Ryssensten Strand close to Rammegaard. The Danish authorities appointed Lieutenant Wigelsen as Receiver of Wreck, and it was from Rammegaard that he submitted his final report in February 1812. [2]
