context_page_description: Kragerup, also known as Kragerupgaard, is a manor house and estate located close to Høng, Kalundborg Municipality, som 0+ kilometres southwest of Copenhagen, Denmark. The estate has been owned by the Dinesen family since 1801. The main building is now operated as a hotel. It was listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1918.
context_section_description: After Lunge's death, Kragerup was passed on to his grandson, whose widow brought it into her second marriage with Jørgen Friis of Knastrup. Friis' son from a previous marriage, Christen Friis (1581–1639), inherited Kragerup in 1610. He served in the Kalmar War in 1611-1613 and was appointed Chancellor in 1616. He constructed a new, three-winged main building in 1627 and also extended the estate through the acquisition of more tenant farms in the surrounding villages.
