context_page_description: Svenstrup is a manor house and estate located close to Borup, Køge Municipality, some 50 kilometres southwest of Copenhagen, Denmark. It has belonged to members of the Neergaard/Wedell-Neergaard family since 1751.
context_section_description: In 1666, Frederik III (1609–1670) gave Svenstrup to Hans Svane, an arch bishop, who had supported the king in the introduction of the absolutism in 1660. Svane was also appointed to Supreme Court justice and member of statskollegiet. The estate, then one of the largest in the country, was granted status as a birk from 1678. Hans Svane died later that year but his widow Marie Fuiren kept the estate until 1687.
  Hans and Margrethe Svane's granddaughter, Marie Svane, inherited Svenstrup in 1730. Her husband,  Jesper Friis, had died in the Great Northern War (1700–1721).
  In 1733, she married the 20 years younger captain Frederik Oertz but the marriage was unhappy and after just a few years entered divorce proceedings that would last for the next 15 years and involve both Christian VI (1699–1746) and bishop Hersleb before the marriage was finally dissolved.
