Life

Holstein-Ledreborg was elected to the Folketing in 1872 and stood out as an opponent of the national liberal governments without joining any particular party. He later headed a moderate faction of the Venstre and was one of the leaders of the United Venstre of the Reichstag.

During a stay in Rome he converted to Catholicism in his youth. So far he has remained the only Catholic head of government in Denmark.
