Geocache Description:




Danish:
Det nuværende Vallø Slot blev bygget i 1580'erne, men den første kendte ejer af Vallø var Eskild Krage i 1330. Dele af en bygning fra 1200 tallet er også blevet fundet. I 1400 tallet blev slottet delt i en østlig og en vestlig halvdel, og siden har det primært været ejet eller beboet af kvinder. I 1525 købte Oluf Rosenkrantz slottet, og efter hans død arvede hans to døtre Birgitte og Mette stedet. Birgitte "forskønnede" Valløby Kirke, før kun et kapel, og Mette ombyggede slottet. I 1738 oprettede Dronning Sofie Magdalene "Vallø Adelige Frøkenkloster". Der skulle være en Abbedisse, en Dekanesse og der måtte bo 12 Stiftsdamer af ædel byrd (Med 16 aner). Abbedissen skulle helst være en prinsesse eller en anden kongelig person. Dekanessen skulle være enke og af 1. Rangklasse. Ingen mænd måtte overnatte på slottet. Efter branden i 1893 og ombygningen, blev enkelte regler moderniseret og slækket, og fra 1976 har det været muligt for almindelige borgerlige, både enker og fraskilte, at få en lejlighed. Under branden, kollapsede et af tårnene og spiret fra taget blev hamret ind i murværket. Det sidder der endnu.


English:
The present Vallø Castle was build in the 1580's, but the first known owner of Vallø was Eskild Krage in 1330. Parts of a building from the 1200's has been found as well. In the 1400's, the castle was split in an Eastern and a Western half, and since then, it has mainly been owned or occupied by women. In 1525, Oluf Rosenkrantz became the owner of the castle, and after his death, his two girls Birgitte and Mette inherited the castle. Birgitte "beautified" Valløby Church, previously only a chapel, and Mette rebuild the castle towards what it looks like today. In 1738 Queen Sofie Magdalene established "Vallø noble home for unmarried ladies of rank". There was an Abbess, a Mother Superior and no more than 12 unmarried ladies of rank (At least 16 ancestors). The Abbess should preferably be a Princess or other Royal person. The Mother Superior had to be a widow and of 1st rank. No men were allowed to stay the night at the castle. After the fire in 1893 and the rebuilding of the castle, some rules were modernised and relaxed, and from 1976 it has been possible for ordinary women, even widows or divorced to live there. During the fire, one of the towers collapsed and the spike from the roof got stuck in the wall. It can still be seen today.
