Anders Kofoed Rømer held the rank of Captain. Store Hallegård isclassified as a "proprietair" farm.

On Bornholm there were three classes of farms:

1) Proprietairgård (Propr.): a freehold estate (thus also called aFrigård), which could only be owned by a freeman (frimand) or a member ofthe nobility (adelsmand).

2) Selvejergård (Slg.): meaning a farm owned independently, free ofobligations to an estate owner - it could be occupied by its owner orleased to a peasant farmer (bonde).

3) Vornedegård (Vdg.), two types: a) the first type was part of anestate (i.e. connected to a proprietairgård), the peasants who lived onthem were tenants and were obliged to provide labor, known as the"Herlighedsright" (Glory-right), to the owner of the estate; b) the othertype was referred to as a "Fri Vornedegård", this type of farm was notconnected to an estate and was free of the labor obligation - could beowned by a freeman and leased to a peasant.

A map drawn in 1851 shows 17 estate-farms classified as Proprietair: 3in each of Åker, Ibsker and Nyker parishes; 2 each in Østermarie andKlemensker; and 1 each in Pedersker, Bodilsker, Østerlars, and Olsker.There were hundreds of farms comprising the other two classifications.The typical farm is arranged in a joined U shape, with the farmhouse,barn, pig-stall, and utility-shed all built around a cobble-stonecourtyard.
