Visborggaard manor dates from the 16th century, and possesses Renaissance gardens, now mainly used by the residents of the social psychiatric residential unit which the manor currently houses.

The task was to carefully restore the gardens, the original form of which could still be traced when the project began ten years ago. Work has been done to emphasise the original geometry of the gardens, which include a moat and fishpond, and consist in their basic form of eight lawned segments. Ongoing renewal of the beds is being performed with the help of thorough historical research, introducing, for example, the herbaceous perennials and bulb plants which were fashionable in the Renaissance period.

As a result of the work, the gardens have now been listed for preservation.
