Societetshuset, Varmbadhuset and Kallbadhuset, Varberg

Close to the cold bathhouse, on the other side of the societal park, lies the Varmbadhuset (thermal bathhouse). It was built in 1925, replacing an older hot tub from 1866, which was closer to the cold bath house. The building is designed by Allan Berglund, and in comparison with the Kallbadhuset the strict style is typically twenty-first classicalism.

Kallbadhuset and Societetshuset, Varberg

In the 19th century Varberg became a popular health resort. The source of the monkey at Apelviken was launched in 1811, but it was only with the railroad that more people went to Varberg to socialize and take medical baths. King Oscar II sometimes visited Varberg. Sunburn, however, was not sought after by the renowned visitors of this time. In the north-western coastal landscape, with its limited vegetation, it became necessary to park a park with large shady deciduous trees. The societal park was created in the 1880s, when the Societetshuset (Society House) was built. The building of the currently popular Moorish style was designed by Adrian C. Peterson, the same man who designed the train station, in wood. Parts of the Society House were manufactured at a carpentry factory in Borås and transported by rail to Varberg; It was thus the city’s first prefabricated building. It was completed in 1886. Another place with lush greenery was the Pehrsson Garden, which was torn and replaced with a Domusvaruhus during the record years.

One of Varberg’s most famous buildings, the Kallbadhuset, was completed in 1903. It is the third Kallbadhuset on the site, the two predecessors were destroyed in tough storms. The building is in wood, painted in various shades of yellow, and stands on a lot of piles a piece in the water. The style is oriental with lollipops and the like, but also features Gothic features with a rosette window, relatively simple to its design, over the entrance.
