Christinelund

Christinelund, originally a farm under Nysø Manor, is located a few kilometres east of central Præstø, on the Zealand's Jungshoved peninsula, Vordingborg Municipality, in southeastern Denmark. It takes its name after the salonist Christine Stampe and was frequently visited by Hans Christian Andersen in the 1850s when it was the home of Henrik and Jonna Stampe. The current main building was completed in 1860 to design by the architect Ferdinand Meldahl. It was listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places by the Danish Heritage Agency on 23 Februart 1978. The property is now operated as a bed & breakfast.

Nysø Manor was acquired by Holger Stampe in 1800 and became part of the Baront of Stampenborg in 1809. His son Henrik Stampe took up residence at one of the farms under the manor after his marriage to Christine Marguérite Salome Dalgas in 1820, renaming the property after his wife. Their two sons, Henrik and Holger, were born on the property in 1821 and 1822. Henrik and Christine Stampe took over Nysø in 1826.

Henrik and Christine Stampe's son Henrik initially studied law in Copenhagen but ran Christinelund after his marriage to Jonna Drewsen in 1850. The prominent architect Ferdinand Meldahl was commissioned to build the current main building in 1859-1860. Henrik and Jonna Stampe had the daughters Rigmor, Astrid, Kristine and Jeanina Emilie. Hans Christian Andersen created three "picture books" for the three oldest daughters.

Rigmor Stampe, broke out of her noble environment when she married the Jewish composer Victor Bendix in 1879. He belonged to the circle around Georg Brandes. Astrid Stampe became a leading member of the Danish Women's Society in the 1880s. She also broke with her noble background, marrying Gustav Feddersen. Kristine Stampe, died just 27 years old in 1884. Their youngest daughter, Jeanina Emilie Stampe, married Frederik de Jonquières who was prefect (amtmand) of Funen County.
