Turebyholm was originally located in the no longer existing village of Tureby. In the Middle Ages it belonged to the episcopal see of Roskilde. The earliest known lensmann was Jens Jensen, who is mentioned in 1375.

Mads Eriksen Bølle was in 1505 granted Turebyholm for life for himself, his wife and his son. Bølle was opposed to Christian III and the introduction of Protestantism but was nonetheless allowed to keep his fief after the Crown confiscated all church land after the Reformation. [1] Mads Bølle is buried in the adjacent Tureby Church.

Turebyholm was in 1604 acquired by Henrik Gøye in exchange for other property. The fief also comprised four farms and 12 houses in the village and around a hundred copyholds scattered across a large area. Turebyholm was in the same time granted the status of birk .Gøye dissolved the remaining four farms in Tureby and placed the land directly under the manor.

Henrik Gøye was married to Birgitte Axeldatter Brahe. She kept Turebyholm after his death in 1611. After her own death in 1619, Turebyholm was passed to two of their sons, Eskild and Otto, who had been brought up by Holger Rosenkrantz, Birgitte Brahe's brother-in-law, after their father's death. In 1621, Otto Gøye bought Eskild's share of the estate. Otto Gøye was married to the learned Birgitte Thott. After Otto Gøye's death in 1642, Turebyholm passed to his brother, Eskild, but he allowed Birgitte Thott to stay on the estate. She made several of her translations while she lived at Turebyholm. Thott led a quiet life at Turebyholm but had to flee to Sorø during the Second Northern War when Swedish troops ravaged and looted on Zealand

In Eskild Gøye's death in 1664, Turebygaard passed to Henrik Gøye.

In 1667, Turebyholm was acquired by Peder Reedtz, the owner of the owner of Tygestrup, Mindstrup and Palsgaard. He expanded the manor with more land. [2]

Redtz left Turebyholm heavily in debts to his widow, Anne Ramel, who managed to keep it until her death. The estate was then passed on to their daughter, Sophie Reedtz, who was married to Tage Thott. Thott was a Scanian nobleman who had fled to Denmark after the war. Sophie Reedtz kept the estate after her husband's death in 1707.

Crown land

In 1720, Sophie Reedtz sold Turebuholm to the crown. The estate was then included in one of the 12 cavalry districts. The main building was used as military barracks and the fields were used for grazing. Turebyholm Church was expanded to make room for the hussards.
