History & geography

History

The name Svogerslev is mentioned in 1257 as Suauerslef, derived from the old male name Swawar and the suffix -lev. Svogerslev Inn opened sometime during the 17th century. In 1727, it became a royal privileged coaching inn. The mail coach paused there to change horses on its way from Roskilde to Hornsherred. The inn was owned by the counts of Ledreborg. Count Holsteinborg closed the inn in 1808. On October 31st, 1914, a massive fire started in Toftegården. It quickly spread throughout the city and burned nine houses to the ground. Due to soldiers being stationed near the city, they came to help put out the fires. A local blacksmith's shop caught fire multiple times, but each time it was saved. In the 1970s, Svogerslev was expanded with large areas of single family detached homes.
