Brejninggaard is a former manor house located near Spjald, Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality, in western Jutland, Denmark.[1]

In the Middle Ages the estate belonged to the bishops of Ribe. In 1544, it was sold to the nobleman Gunde Lange. His son Hans Lange constructed a new main building later in the century. The main building has been extensively renovated and remodeled several times, so there are only a few remains of the original building.[2]
