Karen Blixen spend her childhood at Rungstedlund and took up residency there again after she returned from Africa in 1931.

At that time the estate consisted of four wings but two burned in 1898 and were never rebuilt. In 1879 the estate was purchased by Wilhelm Dinesen, father of Karen Blixen, and after his marriage to Ingeborg Westenholz in 1881 they took up residence there. Aron David, who owned it from 1821 to 1868, merged it with the adjoining properties Rungstedgaard, SГёmandshvile og Folehavegaard. The locale also inspired him for The ВґFishermen, a singspiele remembered for Kong Christian stod ved hГёjen mast, the Danish royal anthem. Ewald lived there from 1773 to 1775 and wrote many of his poems, including The Delights Of Rungsted. Notable guests who stayed at the inn include Ludvig Holberg and Johannes Ewald. The oldest part of the current house dates from about 1680 when it was a combined inn and agricultural estate. The property traces its history back to 1520 when it was owned by the Crown. The property is today managed by the Rungstedlund Foundation as a writer's house museum. She was born on the estate in 1885, and returned there after her years in Kenya, chronicled in her book Out of Africa, to do most of her writings. Rungstedlund, also known as the Karen Blixen Museum, is a country house in Rungsted on the Гresund coast just north of Copenhagen, Denmark, notable for its association with the author Karen Blixen, who lived there for most of her life.
