Lake Pavilion, Copenhagen

Situated on the north side of Gyldenløvesgade, on the embankment that separates Peblinge Lake and Sankt Jørgens Lake, it was completed in 1895 to a Historicist design by Vilhelm Dahlerup and listed in 1984.

[3] The architect Jørn Utzon created a design proposal for a swimming centre at the site in 1979 but the project was never realized.

[4] The building was instead purchased by the publicist Palle Fogtdal and for a while served as a meeting place for The Adventurers' Club of Denmark.

[6] The building is currently being used as a nightclub under its original name; Søpavillonen - or simply SØ - and as a restaurant called Babylon.

To Copenhagen residents, however, it is commonly referred to as klamydiaslottet (the clamydia castle).
