Christian Berregaard dating history

Details

Christian Frederik Berregaard (mée Bjerregaard/Bierregaard, 26 October 1683 – 2 August 1750) was a Danish Supreme Court justice, government official and landowner. He served as burgermaster in Copenhagen and county governor of Korsør and Antvorskov counties. Together with his father, Enevold Bjerregaard, who owned Jøkbygaard in northern Jutland, and brother Frederik Bjerregaard, who owned Ørslev Kloster at Viborg, he was ennobled by letters patent under the name de Berregaard on 20 August 1726. His city home in Copenhagen was the building now known as Assistenshuset. The building, which is now home to the Ministry of Culture, was constructed for him in 1730–1731. The current appearance of the building is, however, the result of a major renovation undertaken for the Royal Pawn by Philip de Lange in the 1760s, Berregaard's other holdings included Borreby at Slagelse and Kølbygaard in northern Jutland.
