Sæbygaard is a manor near Sæby in the Nordjylland region of Denmark. The main building has served as a museum since 1988. In addition to portraits, furnishings from the past 300 years can be seen in the interior.

history

The manor dates back to the Middle Ages. Until the Reformation the property belonged to the Bishop of Børglum , then it was owned by the Danish Crown for a while. Through land swap it came into the possession of Admiral Otto Rud and his wife Pernille Okse, who had the oldest parts of the current buildings built in the Renaissance style in 1576 . A number of changing owners followed, including some famous admirals. From 1723 Sæbygaard was owned by the Arenfeldt family. In 1988 ownership went to the museum (see list below).

architecture

The inner courtyard with the stair tower, the bricks of which imitate a brickwork.

The ensemble of buildings is located on a square rampart that is accessible from the farm yard to the north. A stone bridge built around 1800 leads over the moat. Before that there was a wooden drawbridge .

Only the main building remains of the renaissance complex, a simple exposed brick building with a central projection . Two lower buildings, together with the main house and a brick wall, enclose a partially paved inner courtyard. However, they are from a later time. A stair tower is built on the inner courtyard side of the main house . It was probably built by the Dutch builder Hercules Midow . The bricks of the tower are arranged in such a way that several of them form a cuboid protrusion and thus imitate brickwork.
