History

de Coninck family

The vast Dronninggård estate was from 1781 owned by merchant and ship-owner Frédéric de Coninck. His eldest son, Louis Charles Frédéric de Coninck (1779-1852), a naval officer, was in 1802 married to Henriëtte Madelaine Eschauzier[1]. In connection with the wedding, Frédéric de Coninck charged the Hamburg-based French architect Joseph-Jacques Ramée with the design of a suitable summer residence for the young couple on a site situated approximately 500 metres to the east of his own country house. It was completed in 1804 and given the name Frederikslund (Frederik's Grove).

Louis Charles Frédéric de Coninck's city home was a 13-room apartment in the De Coninck House in Copenhagen.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “villa in Danmark” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
