Torkilstrup Rectory (Danish: Torkilstrup Præstegård) is located just east of Torkilstrup Church in the village of Torkilstrup, some 7 km (4 mi) southeast of Nørre Alslev, on the Danish island of Falster. A stone outside the rectory commemorates that Bernhard Severin Ingemann was born in the building. The rectory was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1950.
History
The rectory was built in 1761.[1] The writer Bernhard Severin Ingemann's father Søren Sørensen Ingemann was vicar at Torkilstrup from 1774. As of 1782, he also served as provost of Falster Nørre Herred. Ingemann was born in the rectory as the youngest of nine children in 1789 and lived there until his father's death ten years later. The family then moved to Slagelse where Ingemann was awarded a scholarship to attend the local Slagelse Latin School. He has described his early childhood memories from the rectory in Denne Aldersopfattelse af hint Barndomsli.[2]
The building was refurbished in 1909. It was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1950. [1] In 2007, it was subject to a comprehensive renovation undertaken by Berings Tegnestue. [4]
Architecture
The rectory has white-plastered walls, a thatched roof and stands on a black-painted foundation of field stones.
