On 1 June 1676, during the Battle of Öland, against the allied Danish and Dutch fleets under Niels Juel and Cornelis Tromp, Creutz's flagship Kronan capsized, as a result of intemperately turning hard south, even though under full sail with open cannon ports.
The buildings were put into order by 1721 when the great naval hero Niels Juel Vind was rewarded with Halsted Priory by Frederick V for his service to the crown.
He served his naval apprenticeship under Maarten Tromp and Michiel de Ruyter, taking part in all the chief engagements of the First Anglo-Dutch War (1652–54) between England and the Netherlands.

A few days after the battle of Jasmund, Cornelis Tromp son of Maarten with 17 fresh Danish and Dutch ships of the line, superseded Juel in the supreme command.
On several occasions, the vessels took part in operations for NATO, UN, OSCE and coalition forces.

Erik Juel, often referred to as Erik Juel to Hundsbæk and Alsted (1591 – 13 February 1657), was a Danish courtier, seignory and Privy Councillor, the father of Admiral Niels Juel and of the politician and diplomat Jens Juel.
The large statue of Niels Juel was installed in 1881 to commemorate his achievements in the Battle of Køge Bay in 1677.
