**Generalens Lysthus** (the General's Summer House) is a small, thatched cottage in Tromnæs Forest on the [Danish](/source/Denmark) island of Falster. It was built in 1786 by the industrialist [Johan Frederik Classen](/source/Johan_Frederik_Classen) who also built nearby [Corselitze](/source/Corselitze).

## Architecture

The house is located near the sea at the end of the road from [Corselitze](/source/Corselitze) manor which lies to the west. It bears a close resemblance to the larger thatched country home at [Liselund](/source/Liselund) on the island of [Møn](/source/M%C3%B8n).[1] Designed by [Andreas Kirkerup](/source/Andreas_Kirkerup) and completed in 1786 in the Neoclassical style, the one-storey, half-timbered whitewashed building has a covered veranda and a living room. The hipped thatched roof has wooden thatching supports along the ridge. In addition to the cottages's small-paned casement windows on all sides, the veranda has larger round-arched windows while the tops of the double doors are also glazed. As a result, the interior has a pleasantly bright look. The windows, doors and woodwork are painted green. The veranda is supported by four round wooden columns in front of the living room with a lateral section outside the half-timbering. The ceiling consists of white-painted boards while the floor is of red and yellow hexagonal tiles. The cottage looks out over the [Baltic Sea](/source/Baltic_Sea).[2][3]

The [Rococo](/source/Rococo) interior consists of a large rectangular room with a domed ceiling fringed with garlands and medallions. The centre of the ceiling is decorated with a rosette and a floral wreath. An inscription on the door reads: "Wer Ruhe hat Der findt sie her" (he who has peace finds it here). The walls are panelled and a cupboard stands in one corner. The window sills are fitted with iron bars.[2]

The building was listed in 1918.[2]
