Niels Ebbesen blev en folkehelt, da han i 1340 dræbte den forhadte grev Gerhard fra Holsten i Randers. Den store eg ved voldstedet siges at være plantet af Niels Ebbesen, men så gammel er træet dog næppe. Egen væltede Skt. Hans dag 1992.

ENG: Niels Ebbesen was a nobleman who lived in the 14th century, where most part of Denmark after expensive wars was pledged to especially noblemen from Holstein. Niels Ebbesen became a national hero when he in 1340 killed the hated Count Gerhard from Holstein in the city of Randers. The great oak lying here is said to have been planted by Niels Ebbesen, but is probably not that old. The oak collapsed in june 1992. Now the oak is lying to rot as a last memory of Niels Ebbesen, who died in a great battle in 1340 at Nonnebjerg north of Skanderborg Castle, when he with his peasant-army tried to free the Kings Castle from the occupation of the Holsteiners.
