Herreborgen Østerholm - Østerholm, Denmark - Preserved Architectural Remnants and Ruins on Waymarking.com

Voldstedet Østerholm. Her byggede Thomas Sture sin nye gård efter han lod Hellevedgaard nedbryde. I 184 solgte han gården til Hans den Yngre, Hertug af Slesvig-Holsten-Sønderborg. I 1592 lod hertugen slottet ombygge og forstørre og gav det navnet Østerholm. Dets udseende kendes fra et gammelt maleri i Egen kirke. I 1723 overgik slottet til kronen, der i 1733 lod det nedrive. Voldstedet, der er udgavet af Nationalmuseet i 1950'erne lå oprindeligt i en sø og består af to banker, på den store, firkantede har ladegården ligget, på den mindre, runde, hovedbygningen, hvis fundament nu er afdækket.

English: Voldstedet Østerholm. Here Thomas Sture built his new castle after he had Hellevedgaard demolished. In 1584 he sold the castle to Hans the Younger, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sønderborg. In 1592, the duke had the castle rebuilt and enlarged and gave it the name Østerholm. Its appearance is known from an old painting in Egen kirke. In 1723 the castle passed to the crown, which in 1733 had it demolished. The rampart, escavated by the National Museum in the 1950s, was originally located in a lake and consists of two banks, on the large, square the main farm has been located, on the smaller, round, main castle, whose foundation is now uncovered.
