History
Early history
Sonnerupgaard is first mentioned when it was owned by Niels Pedersen in 1341. It was later handed down to his son and grand daughter.
Peder Bild acquired the estate in the middle of the 16th century. After his death in 1566, Sonnerupgaard was passed on to Christoffer Bild. The estate was later in the century owned by Jakob Trolle and then by his widow Mette Jakobsdatter Høg Banner.[1]
By 1621. Sonnerupgaard had been acquired by Manderup Parsberg. He was one of the great landowners of his time and had acquired much of his property through his marriages. His widow Anne Brahe kept the estate after his death in 1625. After her death in 1633, Sonnerupgaard was endowed to her brother Otte Brahe who sold it to Jørgen Urne later that same year. Irne and his wife were also the owners of Alslev, Nær and Knudseje.
After Jørgen Urne's death in 1642, Sonneruypgaard was passed on to his son Knud Urne. He sold the estate to Bertel Bartholin in 1661. He was a son of the physician and theologian Casper Bartholin. Johannes Fincke acquired the estate in1675. Later that same year he sold it to his brother-in-law Rasmus Poulsen Vinding. He was the principal writer of Christian V's Danish Code.
After Rasmus Poulsen Vindin'g death in 1684, Sonnerupgaard was sold by his heirs to Bodil Sørensdatter Hiort. She later ceded the estate to her son Severin Junge. In 1731 , he was raised to the peerage under the name de Junge. He owned a number of estates but sold Sonnerupgaard in i 1745.
The new owner was Adolf Andreas von der Lühe. Just a few years later he sold the estate to Frederik Brabrand. He was a strong advocate for agricultural reforms and wrote several articles on the subject.
Johan Thomas Neergaard, the largest landowner on central Xealand, acquired the estate in1788. He was also the owner of Ringsted Abbey, Merløsegaard, Søgaard and Tølløse.
The Zeuthen family
He later sold Sonnerupgaard, Søgaard and Tølløse to Peder Christian Zeuthen. He was a member of the kongelige landhusholdningsselskab from 1788. Peder Christian Zeuthen os omcæuded in Frederik Thaarup's "Fædrelandske Nekrologer" with biographies of notable men.
Peder Christian Zeuthen died in 1823. His son Christian Frederik Zeuthen bought out the other heirs in 1828. He created the Barony of Zeuthen from his three estates in1843. Christian Frederik Zeuthen was a co-founder of Kreditkassen til Selvejendoms Fremme and was an elected member of the stænderforsamlingen in 1840 and 1847. He was an active member of a circle of landowners who opposed the adoption of the Danish Constitution in 1849.
Christian Frederik Zeuthen died in 1850 and his widow Sophie Hedvig Schulin then kept the estate until her death in 1866. The barony was then passed on to her brother Christian Frederik Schulin who the following year took the name Schulin-Zeuthen. His son constructed a new main building and home farm towards the end of the century.
Christian Julius William Schulin-Zeuthen died without children in 1919. The barony was therefore passed on to his nephew William Christopher Sigismund Schulin-Zeuthen.
