Valby Overgaard Gods translated at http://2sogne.dk/historie/valbygaard-gods/ By Helge Christiansen Valdbygaard estate located at Slagelse, and consists of Valdbygaard of 480 hectares with 259 hectares Brorup, Lang Bjerggaard with 99 hectares brickworks yard with 10 hectares and 254 hectares of forest. Total cargo has a fitting at 1102 meters. Valdbygaard spelled with d, which is puzzling when the address is Valbygårdsvej. Previously, there has also written Waldbyegaard. It corresponded to the way they in 1688 spelled the village of Great Waldby. Recently, vald has nothing to do with the German wald, forest. It comes from the old Danish wall, which means the removal or pasture. In Sweden the word as verb, it "intervals" cows, let them graze. Valdbygaard estate is owned and operated by the landowner, Chamberlain, hofjægermester August Bech, who is fifth generation in the family. He is married to Elizabeth, born Countess Krag-Juel-Vind-Frijs, from Halsted Kloster in Los Angeles. They have three children Anne Sofie, b. 1981, and Peter, for the 1984th August Bechs mother hofjægermesterinde Anna Elisabeth Bech, live in the main building of Brorup. In the spring of 2002 took Peter Bech Valdbygaard Forest and Long Bjerggaard. Agriculture is practiced traditionally in the production of grain, grass and sugar beet. In addition to managing the NC Wiese is normally employed two tractor drivers and two students at Valdbygaard. Forest operations take place without staff people. Auction for equestrian estate Valdbygård was created as a manor in 1774 when the Government sold Antvorskov equestrian estate by auction. The buyer was jmh Castenschiold. He gave 65,000 dollars to 7 villages with over 7000 acres. He contended that the village of Great Valby and built a new manor on the bare field. It can be read about in Ole G. Nielsen's article: "The sale of Antvorskov Ryttergods 1774" in "Soro County Yearbook 1974". It says that the large Antvorskov Ryttergods went on sale on 26 maj 1774th The estate stretched from Bildsø and Nordrup in the north to Tårnborg and Ting Jellinge in the south, and it covered 62 villages with 611 houses and about 430 houses, or more than 50,000 acres. It was divided into nine main farms, which would be tax-free to entice buyers. One of the main stations were Valdbygaard which was created by five abandoned farms in Store Valby and some soil on the cheeks Tofte exaggerated. In addition, 52 farms and 32 houses in Hejninge, Baltic Occupation and Great Valby and Hejninge Church. On auction day, there were three bids Valdbygaard. The highest was 26,000 dollars, 53 dollars per. hartkorn barrel. It was not successful. It was arranged that the tenants could bid on their own farms, but there was little interest. Dean Storm offered 60 dollars per. hartkorn barrel for the whole Church Stillinge city. Jorgen Jensen Kelstrup offered throughout Kelstrup 62 and 63 of his own farm. Jorgen Larsen's widow in Kelstrup also saw 63 of his own farm. There were no bids or Bildsø Næsby nor did any of the four cities combined. Interest Board had hoped to get 72 dollars per half. hartkorn barrel, so none of those bids were accepted. The auction could go on. Next day on 27 May 1774 offered Carl Adolf von Castenschiold for Chin Place yard at his brother's behalf 65,000 dollars for Valdbygaard with Great Valby, Hejninge, Næsby, Kelstrup, Church Posts Baltic Occupation and Bildsø. This bid was accepted. A total of 1033 barrels hartkorn or 9000 acres of land for 63 dollars each. barrel hartkorn or 7 dollars each. barrel country. The brother, who bought Valdbygaard goods were Joachim Melchior Holten Castenschiold, Lieutenant Colonel and later General and owner of Borreby. It was he who was head of the country structure of the so-called Clogs Battle of Køge 1807th Immediately after the purchase, he gave power of attorney to a third brother, George Frederick Castenschiold to Hørby yard, but the deed was first overall and a half years later. Large Kongsmark Originally, only five of the Great Valby farms were dismantled, but Castenschiold got permission to hunt the entire village. The last three farms were shut down in 1775 to relocate them to the Great King Mark. Here, there was already a pond from an earlier settlement. This settlement, we know nothing about and has not attempted excavations. On the oldest map of Church Stillinge from 1768 is the pond in Great Kongsmark clearly marked with the words pond and pond acres, but there are no farms or houses by the pond. Great King Mark came to consist of three farms with 60, 54 and 68 acres of land, or a total of 182 acres. But they were just very hartkorn every ten barrels. It seems totally unfair that the earth was premium rate to as much hartkorn, totaling 30 acres. In the ancient land, there were only 3 barrels hartkorn on all uncultivated land. That was until 1775 leased by 6 tenants in Church positions and they collectively paid 40 dollars in rent or value of 10 barrels of corn. Now, the new tenants pay a total of 30 barrels of corn. They built their farms almost identical with four wings, each 10 subjects. The old timber from the Store Valby has been recycled. A half-timbered house could be dismantled and reassembled. As a little help they were free of hoveri in four years until 1 May 1779, after which they would conclude the same hoveriakkord as Valdbygaards other peasants. All farmers in Stillinge parish paid the tenth to the post Church, but the three peasants in the Great King Mark had to pay tithes to Saint Michael Church in Slagelse, like the time they lived in Great Valby. Store Valby In the book "Great Valby" by Berg and Steen Østergaard Christensen is the old village thoroughly described. But the authors have not been interested in what happened with the residents after the 1774th But it would probably be done by reviewing church records and census from 1787. Of the nine tenants in Store Valby 1774, you can retrieve the four Niels Jensen in Næsby and Morten Nielsen and Niels Hansen Grand Kongsmark 1775th In addition, Peter Marcussen and Niels Jorgen Nielsen Sun smallholders in Valdbygaard. The other residents fate was also worth investigate. Since the Great Valby was closed, the village consisted of 14 farms, a smithy, a few houses and one of Frederick 4.s royal colleges. Five of the farms were professionally excavated from 1945 to the 1953rd The oldest find was from the Neolithic, here between a stone ax, which gave its name to Valby type. Found clay floor, stone foundations, postholes, paving, fireplaces, wells, potsherds and animal bones. In total, 16,200 registered society, and they show that the Viking period until 1774 has carried all these years been settlements on the spot. The only tangible memory from the old village is now a series of foundation stones in Valdbygaards park. The last building disappeared in 1860. It was the royal school, whose fate is described in the "Battle School District History" by John C. Jessen. George Frederick Castenschiold to Hørby yard was referred inserted Agent at Valdbygaard in 1774 but in 1776 he became owner. He bought the newly built Valdbygaard by his brother for 100,000 dollars or 35,000 dollars more than his brother had given a half years before. You can include in the Nordic Picture Magazine in 1865 read that the state lost 35,000 dollars, which estate was then worth more. It seems unlikely that the brothers would make money in such a family trade, so the legend is enough of that in the meantime had spent 35,000 dollars on new buildings. Valdbygaards oldest buildings First time Valdbygaards buildings were evaluated for fire insurance was in 1805. There were 39 major and minor buildings valued at a total of 32,410 dollars. The main building was not very considerable for a country house, only 24 x 8 m. It was described thus: Farmhouse in North 38 ½ feet long, divided into 17 subjects, 12 ½ feet wide, egebindingsværk in the foot on a stone and brick ground sloping struts at all corners and in the middle, brick gables of burnt brick like walls, forty of timber and stentag with bræddegesims to both sides, and 2 brick tagkviste.

These 17 subjects assessed farmhouse à subjects to 120 amounting to 2040 dollars. The three udlænger which enclosed courtyard was very large. Ladelængen eastward and westward staldlængen were each 80 x 14 m, and portlængen south was 70 x 8 m. There was space for 200 milking cows plus rearing and 64 horses. Some smaller buildings were decorated with milk, kærneværk, bakery, blacksmith's workshop and living quarters. Servants' room was at the horse stables. A new building for a threshing machine was built in 1790, and while they were exempt from hoveripligtige peasants threshing work against an annual tax on every 10 dollars. The old royal school was described thus: A house situated north of the courtyard inhabited by Jacob Bush, which house is situated with one end in the east and west, 21 ½ feet long, divided in 9 subjects, 12 cubits wide, brick on all sides, forty of timber and thatch with a string of tiles in the eaves.
