context_page_description: Næsbyholm is a manor house and estate located east of Tybjerg Lake, between Sorø and Glumsø, in Næstved Municipality, Denmark.
context_section_description: In 1513, Næsbyholmm was instead acquired by Otte Holgersen Rosenkrantz. During the Count's Feud, in 1534-1536, Næsbyholm was plundered by townspeople of Skælsjør and may have been left uninhabited for a while. In 1557, Otte Holgersen Rosenkrantz died from plague in Lübeck.
   
  In 1575, Næsbyholm was acquired by Steen Ottesen Brahe through his marriage with Birgitte Ottesdatter Rosenkrantz. Brahe, a brother of the astronomer Tyge Brahe, was himself a diplomat and advisor both to Frederik II and Christian IV. He had been rewarded with a number of royal fiefs. Steen Brahe constructed a new main building and also increased the size of the estate through the acquisition of more land in the area. Birgitte Rosenkrantz Brahe died in labour shortly after the new main building had been completed and her husband then moved away from the estate.
  After Steen Brahe's death, Næsbyhilm and Bavelse passed to their son Otte Steensen Brahe. He increased the size of the estate even further. He died on the estate in 1761. Neighter of his two daughters survived him and his estates were therefore passed to his only grandson, n Otto Christopher Ulfeldt, but he died just 17 years old a few years later.
