Ronneby Spa VIII
The Ronneby spa "Ronneby Brunn" had water believed to have healing qualities. The first source of ferruginous water was found in 1705. But the high period of the spa was in the 19th century.
The surrounding park "Brunnsparken" has been voted Sweden's most beautiful park and Europe's 4th most beautiful park.
The buildings in the park are listed buildings (Swedish: byggnadsminnen) and enjoy the strongest legal cultural and historical protection available.
Building 11: The Gymnastic Hall. The hall was built 1890-91 and remained in use for the entire spa era to 1939. The hall was originally divided in two by a mobile wall; one for men, the other for women. It was sometimes used for church services.
The original plans, signed by Svante Svensson, were approved but subject to some modifications. The building underwent more changes in 1904 and 1912. Accommodation and consulting rooms were added on as well as the pavilions on the sides and the tower section on the north side.
Today there is an exhibition hall in the building.
