History[]
In 1484, Holluf was an estate under cultivation by Jørgen Marsvin. References to two separate farms under the names Upper and Lower Holluf are first noted in 1500. In the early 1530s the area was owned and operated by the Dalum Monastery before it returned to private ownership. By 1664, the area consisted of 6 residences and 11 farms. By 1844, the area consisted entirely of private lands.[3]
