It's reported as being mid-1400's and with illustration likely from the artist-group called the "Masters of the Delft Grisailles". It is later illustrated examples of the boxed Kastenbrust, though the dating of this manuscript is not very precise. The "Masters of the Delft Grisailles" was active in likely Delft at the convent of St. Agnes from around 1430's according to this website:

Thanks for the followup on the attribution of this book of hours; so it might be a bit earlier than the museum states, too bad it is not pinned down more precisely.

Found two examples of a boxed Kastenbrust and a possible breast-like domed Kastenbrust from Gierslev Kirke in the western part of Sjælland.
The church paintings are currently dated 1520-1530 by Nationalmuseet, which seems very late. Found an older paper (Danmarks kirker, page 1130) of the church, where the dating is 1475-1525. |
Surely this must be a copy or restoration of older paintings? :\
