During the Reformation in Denmark, the mansion was confiscated from the Church by the Danish crown.   
Count Hans von Schack, a Schleswig nobleman and soldier, was given the mansion as a token of King Frederick III of Denmark's gratitude for his military achievements in the Northern Wars. Schack demolished most of the mansion in 1661 due to its bad condition.
