Grøngaard (1613 also known as Grønhoff - Grünhof -, from Danish "grønne" = "green, land used for grass" ) was founded by Duke Hans the Elder as a domain in 1567 about eight kilometers east of Tønder .
Grøngaard was an independent rural municipality that was administered from 1871 to 1920 by the Buhrkall district. In 1920 the district was dissolved and the municipality ceded to Denmark after the referendum in Schleswig . The administration then takes place in Burkal Sogn , which until 1970 belonged to Harde Slogs Herred in what was then Tønder Amt . Subsequently, the district of Grøngaard was added to the Tønder municipality . In the course of the local government reform on January 1, 2007 , the Tønder municipality was incorporated into the "new" Tønder municipality in the Syddanmark region . On January 1, 2009, the municipality of Hostrup Sogn to the west was expanded to include the part of Burkal Sogn that was part of the Tønder municipality.
history
Grøngaard Castle
Duke Hans the Elder was there in 1570, a Renaissance - hunting lodge built with Italian and French styles. After the Duke's death in 1580, it was rarely used and quickly fell into disrepair. From 1634 the castle was uninhabitable. In 1648, official clerk Jürgensen in Tønder got permission to demolish the castle. This happened until 1653.
The location of the castle was verified in 1946 by teacher V. Leick from Lydersholm. The foundations of the castle were partially exposed by the National Museum of Denmark in 1953 and the entire foundation in the 1970s. The foundation of the castle and the remains of the moat are now freely accessible.
The hunting lodge in the middle of an artificial lake was probably built by the builder Hercules von Oberberg . It was a relatively small rectangular three-story building, 16 by 18 meters, with an octagonal tower at each corner, founded on a red brick granite plinth with decorations of Gotland sandstone and a pillar-supported gallery on the main facade. The steep pyramid roof was probably covered with smooth tile plates ( beaver tails ), the four towers covered with slate had a narrow lead roof as the top. The stairwell was in the middle of the north facade.
Grøngaard Ladegård
In 1695 Grøngaard was converted into an independent farm, Grøngaard Ladegård . When the importance of agriculture declined in 1775, the Petersgaard, Holmsgaard and Blomsgaard farms were separated from Grøngaard. At around the same time, the thatched barn was built in the Holstein style on the farm.
The large main building was erected in 1844 after the previous building burned down.
Around 1848 the nearby Grønå stream, the largest tributary of the Vidå , had no bridge. People were crossed in a boat that belonged to the owners of Grøngaard for a fee of one skilling . The residents of Grøngaard and Lydersholm decided at that time to build a bridge over the stream, which could also be used for a fee.
In 1820 and 1890 Grøngaard went bankrupt and was given a new owner.
In 1924, after an exchange with Augustenborg Hovedgaard , Grøngaard came to Als in state administration. The farm was run by the state, as the vast lands in the area were tended from there.
In 1957, 38 hectares of land were exchanged between Grøngaard and Burkal rectory. Since then, an area of 79 hectares has belonged to Grøngaard, which was formerly owned by the Parish Council of Burkal. This land, of which 20 hectares are covered with forest, has been leased to various tenants.
