Orupgaard. Danish Estate in the 1950's

Orupgaard Estate was sold in 1939 to engineer Knud Højgaard, who must be the gentleman on the far right. The current main building was built 1860-1862, partly in the Gothic style, in two and three-storey attached houses. Knud Højgaard restored the main building in English manor house style, to a two-storey house, by removing much of the old building.
Notice only one man wearing regular work trousers, the rest wear breeches. Most of the men, including the owner, have their rubber boots with the top turned over. The lady is presumably the housekeeper.

Højgaard & Schultz was a Danish contractor and construction company founded in 1918 by S. Schultz and Knud Højgaard.
