## History[edit]

### de Coninck family[edit]

Louis Charles Frédéric de Coninck

The vast Dronninggård estate was from 1781 owned by merchant and ship-owner Frédéric de Coninck. His eldest son, Louis Charles Frédéric de Coninck (1779-1852), a naval officer, was in 1802 married to Henriëtte Madelaine Eschauzier[1]. In connection with the wedding, Frédéric de Coninck charged the Hamburg-based French architect Joseph-Jacques Ramée with the design of a suitable summer residence for the young couple on a site situated approximately 500 metres to the east of his own country house. It was completed in 1804 and given the name Frederikslund (Frederik's Grove).[1]

Louis Charles Frédéric de Coninck's city home was a 13-room apartment in the De Coninck House in Copenhagen. Shortly prior to his father's death in 1811, he became the owner of both the property in Copenhagen and the Dronninggård estate.

### Changing owners[edit]

Frederikslund was together with Dronninggård sold to Hamburg-based J. M. Jenisch when the family's trading house in Copenhagen went bankrupt in 1822.[2] Dronninggård changed hands several times over the next few decades.

### Redevelopment and new functions[edit]

Gustav Elias Grüner

In 1895, Dronninggaard was acquired by a consortium. Frederikslund was the following year sold to Gustav Elias Grüner while Frederikslund's former home farm at Dronnionggårs Allé was at the same event sold to master carpenter C.A. Tesch. The land that belonged to both properties was over the next years sold off in lots and used for single-family detached homes.[3] Grüner was a major landowner and real estate speculant. His other holdings included Hegnsholt at Fredensborg, Eliselund at Kolding, Kærup at Ringsted, Sæbygaard, at Høng Tissøand at Tissø and Haunsø Møllegård (mill and inn)[4] He owned Frederikslund until 1916. Grúnersvej is named after him.[5]

The house has later been used both as a boarding school and an orphanage for girls. It was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1978.

## Architecture[edit]

Frederikslund consists of two storeys over a raised cellar. The facade features an open loggia with sandstone columns. The garden facade features a median risalit toååed by a triangular pediment. The modillioned cornice is decorated with small, circular blindings.[1]

## Today[edit]

The house was in 1991 converted into a private residence.[1]
