The site has existed since 2014 and is everyday visited by many Danish users with an interest in the history of the manors. The website navigation has been improved with the newly launched version and a thematic structure which brings the user deeper into the manorial world has been added.

The new version of the website is the first step in plan of the Danish Research Centre for Manorial Studies to digitise and map manor houses in Denmark and Europe. The research centre is looking for European partners for mapping projects in the future. For expressions of interest or new ideas please contact the research centre at: dch@gammelestrup.dk
