The Søeborg-Sø was a lake in Gribskov Municipality , northeast of Zealand in Denmark . Its area was approximately 600 hectares (6 km²). Not far from the lake was Søeborg Castle and the medieval trading town of Søeborg .
The lake was partially drained in the 1790s by means of a single canal system, so the depth of the drainage was shallow. There was no actual cultivation of the area gained, but grass and reeds could be harvested.
After 80 years, in the 1870s, the lake was completely drained with the help of a comprehensive canal system built by the architect PB Feilberg, which lowered the drainage depth to such an extent that the lake floor could be cultivated.
The Søeborg-Sø in literature
Søeborg-Sø is the place where Frater Taciturnus (the pseudonymous editor of the third part of Søren Kierkegaard's Stages on the Path of Life ), who accompanies his friend, a naturalist, finds a locked chest with a manuscript and publishes it. In the stadiums , the original depth of the lake is indicated as several threads ( Danish en Dybde af flere Favne ). Nobody feels sorry for the lake, says Kierkegaard, because the pastoral estate on one side and the farmers on the other border the lake and neither side has anything against the profit of meadows.
