Riber Kjærgård is the oldest manor house in the area. Already in the 14th century the estate is mentioned, and from 1440 the names of the owners are known.

For 222 years the old noble family Lange and then the family Kragh-Gersdorf were owners of the estate. Around the year 1600, Kjærgård owned all the land and all properties in Vilslev, Darum and Hunderup parishes. The fate of Kjærgård, Margrethe Rosenørn’s eldest son, Frederick v.Gersdorf, sold out of forests, fens and arable land. In 1790 he gave it all up, and the estate fell into disrepair. The copper roof was sold and replaced with straw.

In 1868, the ruin was handed over to the surrounding parishes, which made Kjærgård a poor farm. It was until 1940. In 1949, the area’s population bought Kjærgård back, converted it into an agricultural school, and as such it functions today.
