Summary
Lake Filsø in West Jutland (55°41’N, 8°14’E at the centre
of the lake) covered about 3,000 hectares in late 1700. From
1852 until 1951 the lake was gradually reclaimed, first by
removing an old water mill, and later by the dyking and
draining of approximately 1,200 hectares of farmland. The
agriculture was the conventional growing of seed-grass, ce-
real and, in the latter years, also seed potatoes.
In 2011, the owner of Filsø, a family company, decided
to sell the estate to the Aage V. Jensen Nature Foundation.
The Foundation acquired the area in order to restore the for-
mer lake for the benefit of wildlife and the public.
Filsø was originally a coastal basin surrounded by a
landscape of moraine deposits from the Saale glacial period
(380,000-130,000 years BP).
Geological surveys indicate that coastal erosion devel-
oped a system of barriers and beach ridges along the shore,
and during the process closed the connection between the
lake basin and the North Sea about 4,900-4,100 years BP.
Later, fresh water from the catchment area inundated the ba-
sin until the lake carved a stream through the coastal dunes
and barriers, creating a permanent stream later named the
Henne River.
Some time after 1140, the owner of the estate Hen-
negård, situated on the north side of Lake Filsø, established
a water mill in the Henne River, and the lake became an
artificial mill pond with a fluctuating but relatively stable
water level of 5.3 metres above sea level.
In 1848 the landowners Andreas G. Tranberg and Knud
L. Knudsen, purchased the water-mill. In 1852 they disman-
