In 1859, the castle was bought by the House of Fries. In 1945, the castle was confiscated by the state.[3]

After 1859, it was completely rebuilt in the pseudo-Renaissance style by the architect Theophil Hansen. In the same time, the castle park with alleys and exotic trees was founded. Since 1950, it houses a retirement home.[4]
