In 1505, the hospital described as Bregerupgaard and 1576 away comfortably switch crown Bregerupgaard Morten Venstermand, which then already owned Krøngegaard and land in Bregerup and Røgbølle. He put together all the possession for an estate named Søholt. In 1591 he married Anne Galt, the daughter of a grandson to Mogens Galt and whose mother lived at Krøngegaard until his death in the 1599. Krøngegaard burned shortly after and since then Søholt not had adequate housing, it is believed that Morten Venstermand which for many years was the king's lieutenant, died at his other goods Pederstrup in 1610. The widow marries Falk Brahe to Oreby Bjerregaard, who shot to Søholt Eiler Quitzow to Lykkesholm.

He later became lieutenant, first at Halsted Kloster then Aalholm and was married with a daughter of Regitse and Knud clocks year's Mark.

The last alive of those Casper Hermann von Krogh, was on his deathbed married to Baroness Elisabeth Cathrine Lehn, daughter of Paul Abraham Lehn to Højbygaard and Lungholm.
The second time in 1796 was married to Elizabeth Lehn Chamberlain Julian Christian von Bertouch, but she died already in 1802. In 1804 von Bertouch built a new main building is a two storey between the two old wings of contemporary empire style. It mentions that the bishop Bojsen used the chapel in the east wing when he Konfirmerede daughter Cathinka in 1820 and that it was the last time that the chapel was in use, after which the priest in Fuglse relieved to hold religious services there. Here now was created between the baroque garden and front of the new main building down to the lake, a park in English style with grass lawns varied with naturally growing individual trees and groups of trees.

Barokhaven Baroque Garden
The large gardens to the east of the current Søholt brought over 1690 s and is perhaps the country's best preserved baroque garden. Søholt was in 1690 taken over by Henning von Ulrik Lützow, an immigrant mecklenborgsk noble man who had made a career at court and Magistrate had gathered significant freight possessions in Los Angeles. We do not know who the architect is having, but the garden is located on the French model and an inscription in French on the preserved garden plan could indicate that he was French Søholt then consisted of a three-wing main building and the gardens were then in the middle of and perpendicular to the one of the side wings.
1767 Søholt mentioned as "one of the finest stately homes in this country" with a "great and precious joy Hauge, if the absence of any noble Farm in Denmark." The "opvekke every viewer by surprise a lot of allergens, Perspectives, artificial aqueducts, Cascade, statues and all that can be called excellent in the art."
The entire facility measuring 340 meters in length and 110 meters wide, was built in the time scale based on geometric patterns such as circles, half-circles, squares and straight lines. The basic plan consisted of a tripartite division of the plant so that the lot of ask nearest main building was surrounded by a semicircle of clipped lime trees, the median lot was a system of circular hedges and the party furthest to the east consisted of a division into squares. The entire facility was longitudinally divided by three main recurring times. The outer edges of the longitudinal channels were dug with the purpose was to mirror the finely trimmed hedges and in the east there were two additional large reservoirs.
All these basic features are largely preserved to this day, though a few elements missing. In addition to the preserved natural features some of the hedges actually originally planted and they are therefore now more than 300 years old. It is about half the circle of lime trees in parterrehaven and avnbøgehækkene longitudinally. The remaining hedges of beech and maple are all young.
