History
From Tenant Farm to Horses Stud
Tanghoej appears from map material dating back to 1816. There has been agriculture on the property since then - but likely thousands of years before. On the hils to the east and along the edges of the meadows you can find evidence of early settlements and burial mounds.
The homestead once belonged to the nearby Tjele Estate dating back to the late 1300. In 1869 it was sold for the sum of 1000 Rigsdaler.
The homestead is named after the hill which lies on the property's lands and which was then called Tangehoej. In time, the name was changed to Tanghoej. The name means "isthmus hill" and likely refers to The hill surrounded by the river King’s Crossing Mill River, forming sort of an isthmus in the landscape.
The original buildings were demolished and a new free range barn and horses stud was built in 1997, new garages and workshop in 1998 and the farmhouse was built in 2001.
