Ramløse 1.88

Ramløse is a parish located on the northeast shore of Lake Arresø in Gribskov Municipality, North Zealand, some 50 km north of Copenhagen, Denmark. Local landmarks include Ramløse Church and Ramløse Windmill.HistoryThe name Ramløse means "marshy pastures or meadow". In the Middle Ages, Ramløse consisted of 29 farms, making it one of the largest villages in Frederiksborg County. Most of the parish belonged to Tamløsegård, a fortified farm under the biscopic in Roskilde. Bishop Rico, who had sided with Eric Lam in the battle for the Danish throne, was murdered by Oluf Haraldsen at Tamløsegård in 1139. After the Reformation in 1556, Ramløsegård was confiscated by the Crown. The king used the estate as a private hunting ground.In the 17th century, Ramløse, partly due to overgrazing, was hit hard by drifting sands like other parts of Zealand's north coast.This led to a long period of recession. A Eytterskole opened in the village 9n 1731.In the middle of the 19th century, Ramløse finally saw better times with the opening of a new road to Helsinge. A community house ("forsamlingshus") opened in 1893 and a new school was built in 1937.The village grew when former farmland was sold off in lots and redeveloped with single family detached housing in the 1960s. This took especially place in the area Søkrogen to the south of the village on land that previously belonged to the farms Møllehavegård, Eghøj and Arresøgård.
