Kørup
Kørup , in older spelling also Kjørup, is a manor on the north of Funen in the parish of Krogsbølle in Nordfyns Kommune (Denmark).
The first written mention is from the year 1410; the current main building was built in the Renaissance style in 1582. The complex corresponds to a fortified square courtyard or a medieval moated castle with ramparts and moats that continue to shape the exterior. The manor belonged together with the neighboring noble castle Einsidelsborg to the von Putbus family from Rügen, who came to Denmark in the 15th century and called themselves Podebusk in Low German; The first owner of Kørup is Predbjørn Olufsen Podebusk from 1410 to 1445. Until 1781 the estate with Einsidelsborg remained in the possession of the family, who then returned to the ancestral home of Putbus Castle in Rügen.
The new owner Joachim Godske Graf Moltke (a son of Adam Gottlob von Moltke ), whose main property with Bregentved Castle was on Zealand , sold Kørup and Einsidelsborg in 1795 to Ulrik Wilhelm Lehnsgraf de Roespstorff, who in 1810 assigned it to his nephew Christian Alexander Lehnsgraf von Petersdorff and thus established the Danish feudal county Petersdorff-Roepstorff. Kørup and Einsidelsborg remained in the possession of the Danish branch of the von Petersdorff family , who came from Pomerania and came to Denmark around 1700, until the liege count Christian Alexander von Petersdorff in 1915. His younger brother, the last male bearer of the Danish branch of the von Petersdorff, Paul Ludvig von Petersdorff, died in 1919; Kørup went to the Danish noble family of Wedel-Heinen who had married into the Petersdorffs. After the dissolution of the Danish feudal system, Kørup came into "free ownership" in 1921 and in 1929 in changing, bourgeois ownership.
One of the distinctive owners of Kørup was Claus "the rich" Podebusk, born in 1562 in Ribe , died in 1616 on Krapperup in Skåne (Sweden, then Danish). He married in Copenhagen in 1590 Sophie Nielsdatter Ulfstand (1574–1625) from the Danish nobility (a distant cousin of Jens Holgersen Ulfstand , 1450–1523), and besides Kørup he also owned Krapperup Castle (north of Helsingborg), Karsholm Castle (near Kristianstad) , Barsebæk (Barsebäck north of Malmö) and Markie (probably Lilla Markie near Trelleborg; all in Skåne). Around 1549 he called himself “Claus Podebusk zu Kørup” on his daughter's bridal chest, Vibeke Podebusk. Since the middle of the 17th century, Kørup has been subordinate to the neighboring Einsidelsborg , the new capital of the entire property.
