Danebu Kongsgaard was originally a gift from the people of Norway to the people of Denmark, as a thank you for helping out after World War 2. The initiator, P. Car. Andersen, suggested the idea of a fundraising right after the war, and the Norwegian Ski Association carried out the idea and started a national fundraising. It was a tremendous success with thousands of small and large contributions, and as early as August 1945 The Norwegian skiers association was able to present The Danish Sports Association with the gift certificate for The Danish Cottage. It was architect H. Astrup together with Colonel Bloch-Hansen, who found the stunning site at the top of Aurdalsåsen in Valdres. After an architectural competition, won by Esben Poulsson, Danebu was built in the years 1947-50.
