Rungstedlund, Biographical museum in Rungsted, Denmark.
Rungstedlund is a white country house near Copenhagen that functions as a museum displaying the spaces and collections of Danish author Karen Blixen. The house contains original furnishings, her personal belongings, and artwork that offer insight into her daily life.
The property originated in 1680 as an agricultural estate with an inn that attracted writers and literary figures over the centuries. Karen Blixen made it her home from 1931 until her death in 1962, during which time she wrote her most celebrated works.
The house served as the creative center for Karen Blixen's literary work and displays the spaces where she crafted her most famous stories. Visitors today can see her personal possessions and furnishings that reveal how she lived and worked as a writer.
The museum lies north of Copenhagen along the coastal road and is most conveniently reached by train to Rungsted Kyst Station. The building is easily accessible, and the rooms are arranged in a way that allows visitors to explore at their own pace.
The grounds include a bird sanctuary with numerous nesting boxes that Karen Blixen established in 1958. This natural space reveals her concern for wildlife protection and remains part of the visitor experience today.
