In 1579, on the central Jutland moors, a new manor was built, which was different in many ways from other manors. Unlike eastern Denmark with its grain production, the moors of central Jutland were not suitable for this type of farming, but the changing owners of the manor still managed to exploit the landscape’s various resources. When it was constructed in the late sixteenth century, quite unusually for its time, Herningsholm was constructed like a fort, surrounded by large ramparts with bastions.
