Dowager queen Sophie was a major landowner on the islands of Lolland and Falster. Her estates included Halsted Priory. The warehouse in Nakskov was constructed for her in 1589–91. It was used for the storage of langgildekorn, a sort of tithe paid by the farmers to the local landlord in that day. It was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1965.[1]
