History
Laage is an old manor, which dates back to the 16th century. Here the farm was owned by the Skeel. Later, the farm came to the genus Juul, and from Hans Juul Laage went to Jens Jørgensen Jelling in 1678, whose widow, Anne Nielsdatter Obling, later married Bishop Ancher Anchersen.

After the death of Anne Nielsdatter Obling in 1703, the estate was purchased by Ditlev Brockdorff, who was succeeded by his son-in-law, Hieronymus de la Mare. In 1723 he transferred Laage to Rasmus Leth, whose son in 1748 sold the estate to Søren Fogh. Søren Fogh sold off large portions of the estate's land before disposing of the main parcel to Christian von Bülow.

In general, Laage's history in the 18th century was characterized by the fact that the farm was often bought and sold to new owners, and thus was not like many other manors owned by one family. The trend continued partly up to the 19th century, but the owners retained the farm for longer periods than had been the case in the last century. 1

Probate Records
Probate records from Stovgård estate survive from 1723 until 1767. Facsimiles of the originals can be viewed on Arivalieronline by clicking here and the index is available by clicking here. Erik Brejl has also abstracted these records and they can be accessed by clicking here.

Land Records
Copyhold deeds (fæsteprotokol) for Låge estate survive from 1724 until 1767. These record each person who bound himself to a house or farm, give their place of birth, and their relationship to the previous tenant, if any. Facsimiles of the originals can be viewed on Arkivalieronline by clicking here and the index is available by clicking here. Erik Brejl has also abstracted these records and they can be accessed by clicking here.

In order to keep track of the dues peasants and cottagers owed, Låge created multiple land registration lists (jordebøger). These lists name head of household and lists either their annual dues, the value of the land they leased, or both. Erik Brejl has abstracted these lists and they are available on his website. They can also be accessed at the above link.

History
Faarupgaard was previously a village named Faarup. About 1400 the village consisted of five farms which had different owners. Only after Laurids Skram switched to a few farms in Faarup town in 1578 did the farms begin to be gathered under a main farm, which was called Faarupgaard. When he died, the widow, Maren Bille, and after her daughter Maren Skram, who was also a widow, took over the farm. She switched to Faarup Mill in 1617, and then let the town of Faarup tear down.

Her niece, Sophie Below, inherited after her and sat at Faarupgaard for 19 years before her son, Henrik Thott, took over and sold the farm to his sister, Anne Thott. However, she had it for only three years, and when she died, the farm returned to her brother. In the middle of the 17th century the Swedish wars ravaged, and Faarupgaard suffered greatly during the hard times. That's why Henrik Thott ended up selling the farm, which a few years later came to the owner of Haraldskær, Conrad von der Brincken. During that period, Faarupgaard often changed owner.

In the late 18th century, Hans Marcussen bought the Ammitzbøll estate and after selling it to a relative, got it back in 1798. He obtained permission to subdivide the farm into smaller parcels a few years later.

In 1911, Vejle County bought out the estate and created 26 households' use of it. Then the main parcel was sold to himself to P. Chr. Kæmpegaard, who in 1914 created a 'Reception and Nursing Home for the Deaf' on the farm. He sold it four years later to the City of Copenhagen, which set up a detox for alcoholics and a Rehabilitation Center for Copenhagen hospitals here.

In 1968, Vejle Municipality purchased Faarupgaard, now called Faarupgaard Ungecenter. In 2013, the center takes care of young people with particularly difficult problems.

Land Records
Unfortunately many of the genealogical records typically kept by estates were in this case, either not kept or not preserved. There is, however, a 1664 land list (jordebog) that is available and it can be accessed by clicking here.
