The foreman’s residence
<p style="font-weight: 400">On the ground floor of the Foreman’s House lived the foreman who looked after the cows and pigs. On the first floor lived students and men who worked in agriculture. </p>
<p>8th generation estate owner Birgitte Dinesen says: <em>“When I was a child, I witnessed the men climbing into the windows of the young girls. There was always a ladder at the back of the main building, which they used when they went to visit the girls. Sometimes I was the one who had to stand guard for a dime and promise not to reveal the relationships to my parents. Today, I occasionally meet older ladies in the area who tell me that they met their husbands at Kragerup.”</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400"><em>“Until the 1970s, the farm’s men and students lived in the Carle Chamber – also called the Student Hall. They were on room and board and ate in the caretaker’s house, where I lived as a child. This was also their living room, where they played cards and from the 1960s they could also watch TV. I had a lot of fun with the men when I was a kid. They found it fun to challenge me and offered me, for example, five kroner to swallow an earthworm or ten kroner to swim across the moat. That was a lot of money that could be turned into candy at the grocery store on Tindinge Bakke. Our family normally only had Saturday sweets, and chewing gum was forbidden, so it became a favorite sport to steal gum from the tractor drivers.”</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400">In 2019, the entire 1st floor was renovated and 14 new standard double rooms were created. On the ground floor there are now also rooms. </p>
