<p style="font-weight: 400">Chamberlains Jørgen Eigil Wiffert Dinesen (1895-1963) and Erik Sophus Dinesen (1928-2005) were both prominent members of the Dinesen family. Birgitte Dinesen, the 8th generation of the Dinesen family at Kragerup Gods, shares her memories of her father and grandfather: </p> <p style="font-weight: 400">“This room was originally the nursery of my father, Erik Dinesen, but was also used by my grandfather, Jørgen Dinesen, in his old age. Both were appointed chamberlains.”</p> <p style="font-weight: 400">“My grandfather Jørgen Dinesen died in 1963 when I was five years old. He was chairman of several associations and was very involved in political work. He was therefore not the one who revolutionized Kragerup, as he had so many other interests.” </p> <p style="font-weight: 400">“My father, Erik Dinesen, who was married to my mother Marie-Louise Dinesen, took over Kragerup in 1960. They made significant changes: rearranging the park, modernizing the farm buildings and refurbishing the living quarters. In 1967, they modernized the main building from a classic manor house to a family home that united two eras of living, including a dining kitchen.” </p> <p style="font-weight: 400">“Erik had a great passion for machines, speed, partying and hunting. His love of cars and speed lasted a lifetime, and when he retired, he was most excited to have more time for vintage car racing, visiting car museums, watching grand prix or immersing himself in motoring literature. My father’s keen interest in anything on wheels played a significant role in Kragerup’s development. When he took over in 1960, there was only one tractor. He quickly got many more as he modernized our farm. My father died of a stroke in 2005, aged 77.”</p>
