ringsted abbey was confiscated by the crown during the reformation in 1536. in 1662, lellinge was granted to supervisor of the royal kitchen ("køkkenskriver") hans olufsen, abel cathrine's husband, as payment for an old debt. two years later his brother, a court butcher, received ringsted ladegård. the farms in the villages of kværkeby, kongsted and vigersted were, however, ceded to hans olufsen. rosengaard was then a large farm with 30 "tønder hartkorn" of land.
