Juellund is a manor house and estate in Ringsted Municipality, Denmark. It was established by Jens Juel in 1694 but has been part of the Giesegaard estate since 1751.

History

Juellund

Juellund was established when Jens Juel purchased and merged the old manors of Jonstrup and Herlufstrup in 1694. It is a typical example of the concentration of land on fewer manors that took place up through the 17th century. Juel belonged to the inner circle around first Christian V and then Frederick IV. He expanded the estate through the acquisition of more land prior to his death in 1700.

Juel's widow, For the Krag, married Christian Gyldenløve who sold Juellund to Hans Benzon om 1702. The estate changed hands several times over the next 50 years. In 1751, Juellund was sold to Anna Sophie Schack, one of the largest landowners in the country. She included the estate in stamhuset Giesegaard.stamhuset Giesegaard was dissolved in 1922 as a result of lansafløsningsloven.^[1]
