Skridskopaviljongen.

 

The Skating Pavilion (has also been called the Royal Skating and Rowing Club's pavilion) is a brick building on Kastellholmen in Stockholm and has been a state-owned building monument since 1993. The house was built in 1882 by the Royal Skating Club and the Royal Swedish Sailing Society and the architect (attributed) was Adolf Emil Melander. At the end of the century, the pavilion was a very popular meeting place for young society.

 

The house is a small castle romanticizing history in red brick and slate roof, with a core tower and a turret as well as a corner tower. Two medallions of arms are also incorporated on the facade. One is Oscar II's medallion interlaced with the SSS of the Royal Sailing Society, the KSSS which was stationed there during the summers while in Queen Sofia of Nassau's monogram hangs a pair of skates. In the interior, there are intact ceiling paintings preserved since the time of construction.

 

During the spring and summer of 2007, the building was renovated.
