Gammel Ryomgård

In the middle ages there was a toll-passage, that crossed the lowlands of the former Sound of Kolind at Gammel Ryomgård (Old Ryomgård) in Denmark. The northern part of the peninsula, Djursland, was separated from the southern part by the sound. In the stone ages the southeren part was an island. One of the few passageways was at Gammel Ryomgård.
With the construction of a railroad between Randers in mainland Jutland, and Grenå at the tip of the peninsula Djursland in the 1870'ties, the basis of a town, Ryomgård, located by the railway was established.

Gammel Ryomgård is an old manor house named Ryomgaard in 1576 [1] and called Gammel Ryomgaard from 1804,[1] when a lot of the land was sold and converted into separate farms. The new farms got the names Ny Ryomgaard (New Ryomgård) (originally Karlsruhe), Marienhøj (originally Marienhof), Frederikslund (originally Kragelund) and Margrethelund.[1]

Gammel Ryomgård is located in Syddjurs Municipality. The main building was built in 1643 and rebuilt in 1768-1770.[1] The building is protected.

Today Gl. Ryomgård has got 107 hektar of land.[1]
