A school camp stay at Søgård Hovedgård provides an excellent base from which to explore South Langeland.

The history of Søgård Hovedgård

Søgård was founded in the late 17th century by Frederik Ahlefeldt on land comprising several farms in Søndenbro and later became part of the County of Langeland under Tranekær. The present buildings date from the mid-1800s. Following the abolition of the manorial system, parts of the land were divided into smallholdings, and the area around the manor therefore also tells the story of the development of agriculture in South Langeland.
