History

Gislingegaard was founded by Peder Benzon on 30 April 1730 from two farms in the village of Gislinge. He later almost doubled it in size.

Benzon kept Gislingegård until his death in 1735. The estate was then sold by his heirs to county manager Jacob Jørgensen. It than changed hands a number of times until it was acquired by Erik Svitzer in 1771. He implemented the agricultural reforms of the time and expanded the sairy. The main building was destroyed by fire in 1773 and later rebuilt at a new location further to the south. The value of the estate dropped significantly during the agricultural crisis from 1713 to 1830.

Baron Frederik Løvenskiold acquired Gislingegård in 1845. He leased it out and sold some of the tenant farms to the tenant farmers.

Udstykningsforening For Sjælland og Fyns Stifter purchased Gislingegaard in 1915. Some of the land was used for the establishment of nine new smallholdings. The rest of the estate was sold toa farmer named Christoffersen later that same year.[1]

Architecture

The main building is a single-storey building from 1763. It is built in Gothic Revival style with crow-stepped gables.

Today

The estate covers 250 hectares of which 222 hectares are farmland and 16 hectares are meadows.
