Sølyst is a former country house located just near the Øresund coast in Klampenborg, Gentofte Municipality, on the northern edge of Copenhagen, Denmark.

At Sølyst, to commemorate his first wife, he commissioned the artist Nikolaj Abraham Abildgaard to design a monument, Emiliekilde, by a small spring next to the main road where she had often rested on her walks in the surrounding countryside.

Ernst and Charlotte Schimmelmann shared a passion for the arts and with them the house and park developed into a colourful cultural venue which gained an international reputation.

Sølyst was inherited by his daughter Adelaide but she moved to Vienna in 1831 when her husband, Georg Heinrich von Løwenstern, received an appointment as Ambassador there,[1] and in 1840 she sold the house.

[2] The Royal Copenhagen Shooting Society is still based at Sølyst but the property also serves as a venue for parties, receptions, meetings and minor conferences with attendances from 20 to 180 people.
