History
History
A village named Bonderup is first mentioned in 1421. The first recorded owner of the manor is Claus Basse. Basse passed the estate in 1356 to his daughter, Ellen Basse, who was married to Otte Norby. In 1592, Bonderup was sold to Christoffer Pax. In 1608-1631, Bonderup belonged to Else Thott (widow to Hans Lindenov til Aggersvold). In 1631, Bonderup was sold to Chancellor of the Realm Christen Friis til Haraldskær. Just a few years later, he sold it to Anne Brahe. In 1699-1711, Bonderup was acquired by judge Eiler Jacobsen Eilert. He also owned Merløsegaard. In 1754, after changing hands several times, Bonderup was sold by auction to Christian Frederik greve Holstein-Ledreborg. In 1766, it was sold to the local official (herredsskriver) P. Larsen Wiimh for 36,000 Danish rigsdaler. In 1796, he sold it to Tønnes Christian Bruun de Neergaard for 104,000 eigsdaler. Later in the same year, he sold it for 100,000 eigsdaler to captain Søren H. Lund. In 1808, Lund sold Bonderup for 160,000 rigsdaler to count Frederik Knuth. His son, count Frederik Christian Julius von Knuth took over the estate in 1816. His heirs sold Bonderup to the wealthy merchant Johannes Theodorus Suhr in 1852. He renovated the buildings with the assistance of the prominent architect Ferdinand Meldahl and also charged him with the design of a new dairy. Mixing with the political and cultural elite of the time, Suhr invited Johan Ludvig Heiberg to use Bonderup as a summer residence. Having no children, Suhr created a family trust, Den Suhrske Stiftelse, which owned the estate after his death in 1858, but the Heibergs continued to spend their summers there. Johan Ludvig Heiberg died at Bonderup in 1860.
