17th century

Annebjerggaard was established by merchant and royal treasurer Henrik Müller in around 1660. The land had previously belonged to a village called Mosby. He named it after his daughter, Anna Cathrine, whom he subsequently presented it to. In 1686, Müller was convicted of embezzlement against the crown. As a result of economic difficulties, he had to transfer Annebjerggaard to Manuel Texeira.^[1]

Manuel Texeira left Annebjerggaard to his son Samuel Texeira. In 1692, he sold Annebjerggaard to Gunde Vossbein. In 1694, he also acquired nearby Ellingegaard. The two estates were both granted the status of manors the same year. This status required copyholds with a total area of 200 tønder hartkorn ('barrels of grain', used as a measurement of agricultural value) and resulted in freedom from taxes and other privileges.^[1]

In 1705, Annebjerggaard was acquired by Christian Wildenradt. He married Vibeke Margrethe Weldingh the following year. After his death in 1723, she married her children's tutor Peder Svane. The couple had a daughter, Ulrikke Eleonore Svane, who was allegedly the result of the mother's relationship with Frederik IV (1671–1730), who had visited Annebjerggaard.^[1]

Ulrikke Eleonore Svane married Niels Christian Bang, 27 years her senior, who served as manager of the crown land in Odsherred. Upon her husband's death in 1760, Ulrikke Eleonore Svane married his successor, Jakob Hansen, who in 1760 bought Annebjerggaard as well as the churches in Vig and Rørvig.^[1]

In 1770, Hansen sold Annebjerggaard to Henrik Rosted, who sold it to Christian VII (1749–1808) a few years later. Hansen's son-in-law, Frants Wilhelm Trojel, was subsequently appointed as the new manager of the crown land in Odsherred. In 1801, he purchased Annebjerggaard. For the first time since 1694, Annebjerggaard and Ellingegaard were therefore no longer in the hands of the same owner. Henrik Steffens, who was a descendant of Annebjerggaard's former owner, Niels Christian Bang, served briefly as tutor for Frants Wilhelm Trojel's children.^[2]

Frederik von Buchwald

In 1814, Annabjerggaard was acquired by Frederik von Buchwald. He improved the management of the estate through the introduction of new cultivation methods. He also established a small shipyard on the estate. In 1852, he constructed a new main building to designs by the architect Theodor Sørensen. Christian VIII (1786–1848) visited him several times. The estate was passed to his daughter Charlotte Buchwald upon his death in 1874.^[1]

20th century

Annabjerggaard changed hands a number of times during World War One. Part of the land was used for the construction of the new Nykøbing Psychiatric Hospital. In 1916, E. H. Steenberg sold Buchwald's old main building from 1852. The old home farm (avlsgård) from 1778 was instead adapted for use as a new main building.^[1]

In 1947, J. C. Hempel purchased the remainder of the estate. In 1952, he constructed a new main building to his own design. In 1953, he also constructed a cultural centre on a hilltop behind the main building. This building was designed by the architect A. P. Birkedal. After Hempel's death, the estate was passed to his son Peter. In 1985, it was acquired by Hans Tandrup.^[1]

In 2000, Annebjerggaard changed hands again when it was acquired by the local Trundholm Municipality (now part of Odsherred Municipality). In 2003, it was ceded to Odsherred Museum. In 2020, Odsherred Museum put the building up for sale.^[3]
