Origins
Lindholm traces its history back to the 14th century. In 1330, Johannes Hviding pawned the estate to St. Clare's Priory in Roskilde. In the 15th century, Lindholm was managed as a relatively small fief under Our Lady's Abbey. The first fiefholder was Erik Jensen Godov. He was later succeeded by his son Hans Eriksen Godov. After the Reformation, Lindholm was confiscated by the Crown together with all other property of the Catholic church. In circa 1570, Lindholm was merged with ten other farm as a royal fief. It was later incorporated in the larger fief Roskildegaard.[1]
Changing owners, 1616–1728
In 1616, Lindholm was acquired by Breide Rantzau in exchange for other land. He placed it under the much larger Svanholm estate. After Breide Rantzau's death in 1618, Lindholm was endowed to his daughter Sophie Rantzau and son-in-law Hans Lindenov Lindholm.
In 1633, Lindholm was acquired by Christen Friis in exchange for other land. He expanded Lindholm into a manor, both by increasing the land under the manor and by placing more tenant farms under it.
In connection with the introduction of absolute monarchy in 1660, it became possible for people outside the nobility to own manors. Hans Zoëga, a professor at the University of Copenhagen, acquired Lindholm in 1664 but sold it to his colleague Rasmus Bartholin later that same year. Ole Rømer, his son-in-law, was for a while a co-owner of the estate.
Gothard Bream, who acquired the estate Lindholm in 1690, expanded the estate with more land. His widow, Anne Cathrine Wedelmann, married Severin Wildsch. Anne Cathrine Wedelmann's heirs sold the estate after her death.
Plessen family
The new owner was Christian Ludvig Scheel von Plessen. He created a fine new garden at the site. By testament, Plessen created a Fideikommis from the estate with the effect that it could neither be sold or divided between heirs. AfterChristian Ludvig Scheel von Plessen's death in 1752, Selsø and Lindholm were handed down to his grandson Christian Ludvig Scheel-Plessen. His son Mogens Scheel-Plessen was the next owner. The Plessen family were also major landowners in Holstein. After the loss of Schleswig-Holstein, the owners gradually became more attached to their German holdings. Carl Gabriel Joachim Vilhelm Scheel-Plessen ainhereted Londholm in 1892. He refurbished the main building and also constructed a new home farm after a fire in 1907. The stamhus was dissolved as a result of the Lensafløsningsloven of 1919. Only an insignificant portion of land was sold in conjuction with the disolution iof the of the stamhus.[2]
The main building is designed in Italian style. The central Corps de logis is seven bays wide and has a half hipped, red Mansard roof and is flanked by two, lower, five-bay service wings. The building is rendered in a pale, yellow colour but the Corps de logis has a white, three-bay, rusticated section and white corner lesenes. Both secondary wings feature a high Dutch gable-fronted dormer.
Other buildings at the site include a brick house for the manager and a half-timbered house for the gardener.[3]
Londholm covers 309 hectares of which 289 hectares is farmland, 10 hectares is pastures and 10 hectares is bogland.
