For almost 130 years Hald Castle was the centre of a royal fiefdom in Jutland: Hald Len. Through written sources and archaeological finds, it is possible to arrive at a close-up of the administration and day-to-day life at Hald Castle in the 16th and 17th centuries. The actual manor itself was sold in 1664 to the de Lima brothers, when the Crown sold off large parts of its possessions to cover the enormous debt that had resulted from the prolonged warfare with Sweden.
