Lecture: A Lifelong Lovestory 24 June

The wedding took place in Tirsted Church on 24 June 1774. The groom was the heir to a large Lolland county, Christian Reventlow, and his bride was Frederikke von Beulwitz, a poor but distinguished woman he had met during his studies at Sorø Academy. On their 250th wedding anniversary, the Reventlow Museum invites you to a lecture about their courtship and their long marriage, during which 12 children were born and they became part of the jet set of the time. Based on their many letters to each other, historian Louise Sebro tells about their lives and how their relationship reflects the burgeoning romance of the time, but also their unequal financial backgrounds. After the lecture, it will be possible to see the exhibition "Wedding at the manor" at the Reventlow Museum.

Coffee/tea and a croissant are served during the break.
