The manor Wedelslund west of Aarhus was originally named Sjelle Skovgård. When King Frederik 4. (1699-1730) bought the manor in 1718 and placed the estate under royal administration, the buildings were abandoned. In 1768 count Erhard Wedel-Friis to Frijsenborg bought the manor and rebuilt the manor house under the new name Wedelslund. He and his wife are buried in the nearby Sjelle church.

Wedelslund was built in 1768 as a modest halftimbered one storey house on a three winged floor plan.
