Castenschiold was born on St. Thomas in the Danish West Indies, the son of plantation owner Johan Lorentz Carstens and Jacobe von Holten. The family moved to Copenhagen around the time of his birth. They lived in Store Kirkestræde . His father purchased Knabstrup and was ennobled under the name Castenschiold in 1745.[1]
He inherited Knabstrup Manor in 1760 but sold the estate in 1764. He purchased Hagestedgaard in 1769.[2] He was appointed to etatsråd in 1777 and chamberlain in 1780.
