With its impressive main building and symmetrical home farm Bidstrup dominates the surrounding countryside.
The large buildings and designated landscape testify to the importance of the manor and the long line of owners tells an exciting and dramatic history, from rebellion among the nobility, 'lese majeste' and exile. Bidstrup has been in Lichtenberg'ernes ownership for more than 250 years and remains so to this day.
The manor house was rebuilt 1754-1760 in a style characterized as 'Jutland baroque' by the architect Nicholaus Hinrich Rieman. The manor is adorned by its original 18th century rococo interiors.
