In 1885, de Neergaard married the 30 years younger Bodil Neergaard, and together they opened the house to a large number of visiting artists and particularly musicians until Rolf Viggo de Neergaard 's death. Both [[Edvard Grieg]] and [[Carl Nielsen]] were frequent visitors to the house and close friends of the couple.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fuglsangherregaard.dk/default.asp?Action=Menu&Item=32|title=Historie|publisher=Fuglsang Herregård|accessdate=2009-10-17|
Upon her husband's death in 1915, Bodil Neergaard managed the large estate alone, and organized the social and church life of the household. In 1947, she bequested the estate to a trust, providing that her home and garden should be made a retreat upon her death. After her death in 1962, Refugiet Fuglsang was founded and served as a retreat for artists and other people of note until it had to close in 1995. The following year a local musical society was founded, arranging 9 annual concerts. Since 1997, the Storstrøm Chamber Ensamble has also been based at Fuglsang.
