A historic home, bird sanctuary, park, and museum all in one, located in the house of writer and Nobel Prize finalist Baroness Karen Blixen (in the US and UK, Isak Dinesen), known especially for "Out of Africa" and "Seven Gothic Tales". The museum not only maintains the 17th century house, Blixen's furnishings, and the park, but regularly hosts exhibitions related to Blixen's life and work in Kenya and Denmark. Recent exhibitions have included an exhibition "HER" by internationally acclaimed artist Candice Breitz about Meryl Streep's career.
When we lived in Rungsted all those years ago, Rungstedlund was not open to the public. The Foundation which runs it has done a great job of restoration and interpretation. To visit we used our Copenhagen Card which covered both for the coastal train and the entrance fee, and we combined the visit with lunch in the café which had been recommended. From the station we walked the 1.5km, first along Rungstedvej towards the coast, and then a small almost hidden path (with a small signpost) took us through beautiful woods to Karen Blixen's simple grave, marked by a large stone, under a magnificent tree with a view for eternity…. We approached the house through the garden which supplies all the decorative bouquets of fresh flowers. The Museum itself is intimate and personal, and interprets the life of this fascinating, daring, adventurous, talented, controversial woman who was ahead of her time.... The friendly staff give a short introduction and are happy to answer any questions. You then go at your own pace with an audioguide and its excellent explanations….

This area is a great place to walk the paths and have a camera ready. Then come back at night and take picture of church all lit up.

Meet the stoneage hunters from Nivaa Fjord and come close to a 7,500 year old tomb and experience how they lived. In the other part of the museum you will find the magnififient story of Hirscholm Castle. The castle buildings, used by the royal family itself, were situated where Hørsholm Church now stands. Learn the outrageously story of the affair between King Christian 7'th wife and his physician J.F. Struensee. In 1771 the royal family stayed at Hirschholm Castle, and the Queen gave birth to a daughter by Struensee. In 1772 Struensee was overthrown and executed after a political trial. The royal couple divorced and Caroline Mathilde was sent into exile. The royal family never again used Hirscholm castle.
