The western part is a beautiful example of half-timbered architecture. A tall staircase leads up to the entrance door, which with its slender framing of wooden pilasters is set under a frontispiece.

In the hall, a well-preserved staircase leads up to both bedrooms and guest rooms on the first floor. If you go through the garden room, you come to the landowner's room, which extends through the entire building. Behind this room is the dining room.

The property's well - proportioned space has preserved the Dutch doors with beautiful brass fittings. Among the iron stoves, a Norwegian floor stove must be highlighted, as it has Rococo ornaments. In 1876, a square tower-like extension was added to the kitchen. If you look more closely at the basement, you immediately see that the western part, which is vaulted, is much older than the eastern part. The outer walls are built of boulders and the low wide barrel vault with plug caps over the windows is built of monk stone. In the middle of the basement there is a square substructure that carries the hall's large brick fireplace.

Old Manor

Lyngbygaard does not belong among the very old manors. It is only after the Reformation that it appears as a manor surrounded by peasant estates. Johan Arent Althalt (died 1766) had the eastern part of the current main building erected, according to year, 1755 over the kitchen door. His widow, who was very enterprising, increased the estate considerably. In 1775 she had the western part of the main building built.

In 1826 Johannes Friis bought the estate. Shortly afterwards, he resigned his position as rhythm master at the garrison in Aarhus, and became a farmer with all his heart and soul. Shortly after the takeover of the estate, however, this burned down. However, very quickly (1828) new foundation-walled buildings were erected. Later he set out to improve agriculture. His son, who took over the property, made dairy farming his specialty.

In 1903, his heirs sold the farm to Frederik Lagoni. He was a skilled farmer and at the same time an economist. He had 2 completely modern stable buildings built and modernized the large barn. In 1917, engineer HR Angelo took over the farm. He laid out a very large kitchen and orchard as well as flower parties. In the middle of the lawn, a large blood beech unfolds. To the west and north are old fish ponds, and to the east, linden trees block the view. To the south, the terrain slopes between two newer, detached side buildings down towards the breeding farm. The park can be visited to a limited extent, and only by prior agreement with the owner.
