by their son Johan Bartholin Eichel as holder of Stamhuset Aastrup. He was appointed as judge at Hof- og Stadsretten in 1771 and at the Supreme Court in 1773. He was succeeded by his son of the same name as holder of Stamhuset Aastrup. Johan Bartholin Eichel resided at Aastrup with his wife Charlotte Grothschilling and the estate manager Jens Christian Qwortrup at the time of the 1801 census. Their staff comprised a male servant, a coachman, a housekeeper, a female cook, a maid a "brewery girl" and a "poultry girl". In 1803, the stamhus was dissolved with royal approval. In 1806, was then purchased by Ulrik Christian Von Schmidten In 1809, Johan Bartholin Eichel purchased another manor, Svanholm, but sold it again in 1813. Ulrik Christian Von Schmidten's interest in Aastrup was purely speculative. He was known as the "manor butcher" (herregårdsslagteren) due to the large number of manors that he bought, alone or with partners, only to divide them into smaller farms and sell them again shortly thereafter. Jofoed family In 1810, Ulrik Chr. Von Schmidten sold Aastrup the Copenhagen-based merchant and ship-owner Hans Peder Kofoed.He had already bought another estate in the area, Holbæk Ladegård, which he aold again in 1812. He had also constructed a large townhouse in Christianshavn, now known as the Heering House after a later owner., founder of the company behind Cherry Heering Peter F. Heering. His widow Marie Kofoed kept it after his death in 1812. She made large donations to charity and created a number of grants for indigent people on the estate. In 1838, Marie Kofoed sold the estate to Siegfred Victor Raben. Dannemand's foundation Frederik Vilhelm Dannemand, an illegitimate son of Frederik VI, purchased the estate in 1842. He turned the estate into a stift for unmarried women and widows of his own family. Its official name was Det Grevelige Dannemandske Stift but was also referred to as Aastrup Kloster.

Aastrup Kloster then existed until 1988. Architecture The main building is a three-winged complex. The east wing was built in 1613 by Enevold Kruse. It is
