In western Zealand, between the villages of Kundby and Vognserup, are two different examples of smallholder colonies. Closest to Kundby is Kolonihusene, a collection of 18 smallholdings, set up in 1783. Each smallholder was given a small rectangular plot measuring three 'tønder' (about 1.5 hectares) with a house at the corner. The small farms were a necessary supplement to smallholders' income as day labourers. The houses were simple half-timbered homes consisting of a main building and a shed used as a barn. Some 150 years later, in 1922, 13 state smallholdings" with slightly larger plots were established near Vognserup. "
