Agnete Marie, Countess of Rosencrone, née Hielmstierne.

Hielmstierne (English: lit. Helm Star) was a Dano-Norwegian noble family.

Henrich Henrichsen (1 January 1715 18 July 1780) was a Danish official, historian, and collector of books. He was born in Copenhagen to Niels Henrichsen, a wealthy Icelandic merchant, and Agnete Birgitte, née Finkenhagen.

On 3 February 1747 he was ennobled under the name Hielmstierne, and on 4 August in the same year he married noblewoman Andrea Kirstine Kiærulf (19 January 1730 19 October 1806).

Their only daughter, Agnete Marie Hielmstierne (b. 21 July 1752), married Marcus Gerhard Rosencrone, who later was created Count of Rosencrone. They had no children.
