Første halvdel af det nuværende Holckenhavn byggedes i perioden 1579 til 1600 af adelslægten Ulfeldt og kaldtes Ulfeldtsholm. I 1616 købte den legendariske Ellen Marsvin ejendommen og døbte den straks om til Ellensborg. Hun var kongens svigermoder, idet datteren kirsten Munck blev gift med kong Christian IV. 10 år senere startede hun byggeriet af vest- og sydfløjene, som stod færdige i 1634. Helt specielt er Ellen Marsvins Kapel med de enestående billedskærerarbejder, som anses for at være de fineste i hele Nordeuropa.

Ellen Marsvins datter Kirsten Munk arvede som enebarn Ellensborg ved Ellen Marsvins død i 1649, men hun kom aldrig til at opholde sig her. Da det blev afsløret, at kongen ikke var far til Kirsten Munks tiende barn, blev hun forvist til Boller slot, hvor hun endte sine dage.

Efter Kirsten Munks død blev den nye ejer Christian IV´s yndlingsdatter Leonora Christine, som var gift med rigshofmesteren Corfitz Ulfeldt. Efter et fængselsophold på Hammershus på grund af svindel med rigets finanser blev de benådede og fik lov til at tage ophold på Ellensborg i 1662. Deres forsøg på at vælte kong Frederik III mislykkedes, og Corfitz Ulfeldt døde på Rhinen i en båd, mens

Leonora Christine sad fængslet 22 år i Blåtårn. Al Corfitz Ulfeldts ejendom blev konfiskeret, og Ellensborg blev dermed overtaget af kronen. For at slette alle spor af forræderi fik slotte igen et nyt navn, nemlig Nygaard. Slottet stod herefter tomt i 10 år, indtil ejendommen i 1672 blev oprettet som Friherreskab til kommandanten på Kronborg, Eiler baron Holck. Igen skiftede slottet navn, dennegang til det nuværende: Holckenhavn, og familien Holck har nu været ejere i mere end 330år. Nuværende ejer Christina baronesse Holck er 12´te slægtsled i Holckfamilien. Og den første kvindelige ejer i slægten.

The first half of what is now known as Holckenhavn Castle was called Ulfeldtsholm and was built from 1579 to 1600 by the noble family Ulfeldt. In the year 1616 the legendary Ellen Marsvin took possession of the castle. She immediately renamed the castle Ellensborg. Ellen Marsvin became the King's mother-in-law when her daughter married King Christian IV. 10 years later she had the Western and the Southern wings erected. The work was completed in 1634 and included the Ellen Marsvin Chapel, which is known for it's many decorations carved in wood. The wood carvings are considered to be the finest of their kind in Northern Europe.

Ellen Marsvin died in 1649. Her only child, Kirsten Munk, inherited Ellensborg as sole heiress. However, she never stayed at the castle. When it was revealed that the King wasn't the father of her 10th child, Kirsten Munk was banished from the court to Boller Castle, where she later died. Following the death of Kirsten Munk the castle was taken over by King Christian IV's favorite daughter, Leonora Christine. Leonora Christine was married to the Royal Seneschal, Corfitz Ulfeldt. They were both imprisoned at Hammershus for treason. In 1662 they were pardoned and allowed to take residence at Ellensborg. They failed to dethrone King Frederik III. Corfitz Ulfeldt died on a boat on the Rhine and Leonora Christine was imprisoned for 22 years in Blåtårn. Corfitz Ulfeldt's entire property including Ellensborg was seized by the throne. In order to erase all traces of treason the castle was renamed Nygaard. The castle was then empty for 10 years. In 1672 the castle became a baroni for the commandant at Kronborg, Eiler Baron Holck. Once again the castle was renamed. This time to it's present name, Holckenhavn. The Holck family has now owned the castle for more than 330 years. The present owner, Christina Baroness Holck, is the 12th generation of the Holck family and she is the first female in the family to take possession of the castle.
