Kærsgaard blev købt i 1873 af Frederik Ludvig Vilhelm Ahlefeldt-Laurvig og overgik ved dennes død i 1909 til sønnerne. Julius Ahlefeldt-Laurvig ejede Kærsgaard fra 1909-1913 i sammen med brødrene og som eneejer fra 1913-1931, hvor han som følge af landbrugskrisen måtte afhænde gården. Blev boende på avlsgården frem til 1934.
