A/S Framnæs mek Værksteds's landed property is mainly separated from a farm by the name of "Vestre Rød". The eldest known name on the farm is "Rud in Valley", and the first known owner was Svale Jonsson Smør. From 1620-30 the "Vestre Rod" belonged to the feudal overlord, Admiral Ove Gjedde, and was later included as a speck in his son-in-law, Niels Langes's big estate. When Niels Langes's bankruptcy was settled, "Vestre Rod", in 1667, was first transferred to Mayor Marcus Barenholt’s property and then to Vilhelm Mechelsberg.
