 Hal Koch's school was met with scepticism by the Danish folk high school movement and other national romantic Grundtvigian circles.It dealt with such academic elements as European humanism, human rights, democracy and politics that were unfamiliar elements for the folk high school movement which, since its establishment in 1834, had focused on Danish and Nordic history and national identity as manifested in the countryside.The original main building of the manor house has been listed but new buildings have been added in 1958, 1970, 1988 and 1999.
