Biography

Painting from 1861 of the manor house of Constantinsborg

Constantin Marselis was born in Amsterdam as the younger son of Gabriel Marselis (1609–1673) and Isabeau van Straaten. He had an elder brother Vilhelm Marselis (1643-1683) who was fief baron of Güldencrone.[3]

In 1667, the King of Denmark Frederik III sent for both Constantin and Vilhelm, to take over two of their father's Danish estates near Aarhus; Stadsgård and Havreballegård. At the same time, they were appointed as Junkers of the Danish court. In 1668 they were appointed as Kammerjunkers.

Shortly after the King's death in February 1670, Constantin Marselis married Sophie Elisabeth Charisius (1647-1706). He and his wife took residence on Stadsgård. After years of neglect from his father and damages from the constant wars with Sweden in the Second Northern War, Constantin renovated Stadsgård extensively. When the manor was finished in 1677, he renamed it to Constantinsborg, a name it retains to the present. [4]

In 1680, he became a baron of the Havreballegård estate just south of Aarhus and at the same time renamed the manor Marselisborg. Constantin died childless in 1699, and the barony of Marselisborg went to the Crown.[5] [6] [7]

After his death, his widow Sophie initiated a sepulchral for him, herself and her new husband Peter Rodsteen in the Aarhus Cathedral and a richly decorated epitaph can be seen here today.
