Broby Municipality

Former municipalities of Denmark

Until 1 January 2007, Broby municipality was a municipality (Danish, kommune) in Funen County in central Denmark (but a small town called Broby is also found in the southern parts Sweden). The municipality covered an area of 100 km2, and had a total population of 6,353 (2005). Its last mayor was Erling Bonnesen, a member of the Venstre (Liberal Party) political party. The main town and the site of its municipal council was the city of Nørre Broby. Broby municipality ceased to exist as the result of Kommunalreformen ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007). It was merged with Faaborg, Ringe, Ryslinge, and Årslev municipalities to form the new Faaborg-Midtfyn municipality. This created a municipality with an area of 638 km2 and a total population of 51,144 (2005). The new municipality belongs to the Region of Southern Denmark.

Arreskov Castle
Arreskov Castle

Arreskov is an ancient Danish manor with roots stretching back to the 13th century. It was first mentioned in historical records in 1210. The current structure represents the third incarnation of Arreskov, a testament to its pivotal role in Danish nobility and history. Situated in Øster Hæsinge Parish, Sallinge District, within Faaborg Municipality, Arreskov lies adjacent to Arreskov Lake. The manor has been the center of considerable historical interest, including being part of the County of Muckadell, established in 1784. Arreskov's main building, primarily dating from the mid-16th century, stands on land that has seen two prior manor locations. The estate's historical significance is also marked by King Valdemar the Victorious, who bequeathed Arreskov to his son Abel in 1241. However, it was destroyed during the subsequent civil war among Valdemar's sons and again in the unrest under King Erik Klipping. Later, the Crown took over the estate, likely building a fortified farmstead on the premises. The manor has also served various utilitarian roles throughout history, including being repurposed as a hospital during the Three Years' War from 1848 to 1850. Its cultural significance extends into the modern era, having been used as a filming location for the Danish film "Far til Fire - i stor stil" (Father of Four - In High Style), wherein the manor appears as a castle inherited by a character named Uncle Anders. Today, Arreskov remains owned by the Schaffalitzky de Muckadell family and is a part of the larger Muckadell estate, which includes other significant properties like Brobygård and Gelskov. It stands as a well-preserved example of a Danish noble estate, showcasing architecture from across centuries and reflecting an evolving history that continues to captivate visitors and historians alike.
