1151 - Esrum Monastery is founded as a daughter monastery by Clairvaux at the invitation of the archbishop.
Once in the Middle Ages, this North Zealand area was under the pope's direct protection. The changing popes of the Middle Ages probably had no idea what this monastery would later be exposed to. With the Reformation's closure of Denmark's monasteries, buildings and lands were not only taken over by the Crown. King Frederik 2 also demolished nine-tenths of the vast monastery complex and made the monastery its northern Zealand hunting castle.
