Kragerup Gods
Kragerup's Coat of Arms
The coat of arms became a divided shield, where the top section was to represent Anders Didrich's grandmother and grandfather's affiliations. Anders' grandfather, who acquired the estate of Gyldenholm, had intended to change the name Dinesen to Gyldenørn (golden eagle) and therefore chose a half black eagle to be his emblem.
His grandmother Severine Dorthea originally hailed from the German Kraft family, whose emblem was an upright bear. The coat of arms of the de Neergaard noble family, a sheaf of wheat in a golden count's crown, was to cover the bottom part of the coat of arms.
Above the shield, a black knight's helmet was placed. The helmet emblem consisted of three golden sheaves of wheat to signify the family's cultivation of the land.
The original colors of the coat of arms are blue, red, and gold. Today, we have interpreted the coat of arms in a new form, where it is used in gold as the hotel's logo.
