Gundsømagle is a town located two kilometres east of Jyllinge and Roskilde Fjord in the northern part of Roskilde Municipality, approximately 40 kilometres west of Copenhagen, Denmark.
==History== Gundsømagle is mentioned (as Guthensø; 1376 "Gundesiø maklæ") in a letter from Bishop Absalon where he grants the village to Æbelholt Abbey, which was founded on the small island of Eskilsø in Roskilde Fjord. At this point, it consisted of four farms. When the monastery moved to its new home in North Zealand, it kept some of its old holdings. The largest farm in the village, Gundsøgård, came under the Bidstrup estate of Roskilde in 1300. It was confiscated by the Crown in connection with the Reformation and the land was sold off in lots to private buyers in 1670. In 1792, Gundsømagle consisted of 34 farms.
