Frieboeshvile (lit. "Friboe's Resting Place") is a Baroque-style country house in Kongens Lyngby north of Copenhagen, Denmark. It is located across the street from Sorgenfri Palace, where Lyngby Main Street extends from Kongevejen. The most notable former resident is Georg Ferdinand Duckwitz who played an important part in the Rescue of the Danish Jews during World War II. The house now serves as a historic house museum showing how Copenhagen peers decorated their country homes in the late 18th century. It hosts a permanent and special exhibitions about local history as well as the local historic archives for Lyngby-Taarbæk Municipality. ==History== The house was built from 1756 to 1758 by August Günther, a chemist from Copenhagen, and was originally known as ''Vildnisset'' (en. The Wilderness). The architect is not known. In 1782 the property was acquired by the wealthy shipping agent Andreas Bodenhoff. His daughter Gjertrud Cathrine inherited it in 1794 and after she married Rotamaster and later General Frederik Caspar Conrad Frieboe, it was passed on to him. It was originally Denmark's smallest Fideicommissum - Friboe had no legal heirs and the estate was therefore passed to his sister's son, Lieutenant Colonel F.C.C. Funch. In 1846, it received its current name to commemorate General Friboe who is buried in the grounds together with his wife and a few other family members. The Funch family owned Frieboeshvile until 1953 and lived in the house until 1966. In 1919 it had come into ordinary ownership when the ''Lensafløsningsloven'' Act dissolved all Fideicommia. On the same occasion, the house was listed in 1919. Georg Ferdinand Duckwitz, who played a central role in the rescue of the Danish Jews in World War II lived at Frieboeshvile from 1941 to 1953. He later served as German Ambassador to Denmark.〔 Lyngby-Taarbæk Municipality acquired the house from the Funch family in 1953. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frieboeshvile」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
