Danish term or phrase: prdg.
This abbreviation appears on the "place and date" line at the bottom of the certificate. Specifically it says: "Bælum prdg. d. 7. maj 1996". The abbreviation isn't given in Politikens Danskordbog - has anyone seen it before?

rectory
Explanation:
In my opinion this is cartainly a mistake, as Christine suggests it should be prgd, or præstegård, i.e. rectory, vicarage, parsonage, etc. If you Google prdg, you find the following mistake at the first link below: "Kjærup Prdg., d. 12. Juli 1723" whereas if you Google prgd you will find numerous references like "Maltbeck Prgd den 15 Febr. 1818"
