Karen Blixen Museum - Copenhagen - Denmark
Previous Next
Karen Blixen, one of Denmark's great writers, who first achieved fame in America and eventually throughout most of the World, spent the greater part of her life in Rungstedlund. Here she was born in 1885 and here she died in 1962. For seventeen years she lived on a coffe plantation in Kenya. In 1921, after eight years of marriage, she separated from her Swedish husband, Baron Bror von Blixen-Finecke and took over responsibility for running the farm. But in 1930 the family-holding that owned it, decided to give up the unprofitable business and the following year Karen Blixen had to return home to Denmark and move in with her mother at Rungstedlund. When her mother died in 1939, Karen Blixen became mistress of the house and could renovate the home according to her taste.
