The Egeskov Room

Overview

The historian

recounts

In the 19th century, this room was only known as Klaus Møller. This likely stems from the then‑tenant Møller, who during the 19th century leased the land at Egeskov under the owner, Count Preben Bille‑Brahe. Preben had settled at Hvedholm, from where he managed the county Brahesminde. This included Damsbo, Hvedholm, Østrupgaard, and Steensgaard. From 1789 to 1810, Egeskov Castle served merely as a widow’s seat, as Caroline Bille‑Brahe continued to reside there after the death of her husband Henrik Bille‑Brahe. From 1810 to 1857, the castle was uninhabited, except for one maid.
