 Chresten Refsbechs house is still standing in Udbyhoej. Picture to the left is "Faergegaarden" as it looked in 2007.

If you zoom in at the map above, you can se the whole farmhouse.

It was a farm, grocery and inn. Chresten also had a ferry boat on Randers Fjord.

The ships heading for Randers were allways anchored at the entry to Randers Fjord waitng for the right wind. The sailors then went to the grocery to buy what they needed like tobacco etc. After the shopping the sailors had a couple of beers in the inn.

So Chresten was a quite wealthy man.
