The current rectory was first acquired as the private property of reverend Hans Husvig )1611-1679). He had most likely not been satisfied with the official rectory and being due to his lucrative marriage to one of Peder Griffenfeld could afford a better alternative. It is believed that the building had originally served as an inn. The large barrel-vaulted celler with fine Renaissance style masonry similar to that of the cellar under Frederiksborg Castle supports this theory. The crown acquired the building from Husvig's heirs in 1671.
