Tersløsegaard – Holberg’s final home

In the mid-18th century, the writer purchased Tersløsegaard. Not as a castle of power, but as a place to live. Here he spent his summers. Here he walked amongst the fields, watched the crops grow and followed the animals in their daily rhythm.

But Holberg was not just a writer. He was also a landowner. When a severe cattle disease struck, he lost almost his entire herd in a single week. Whilst others immediately bought new stock only to lose it again, Holberg chose to wait. Instead, he invested in sheep and horses. He thought long-term. Practical. Down-to-earth.
