Norwegian Pavilion (in the park)

The Norwegian Pavilion is a wooden building in Norwegian Park in Cieplice, part of Jelenia Góra. It was built in the early 20th century in a style modelled on Norwegian architecture, and today houses a restaurant.

Where the Norwegian architecture in Cieplice came from

The pavilion was built on the initiative of Eugen Füllner, the owner of a paper machine factory, who was inspired by Norwegian architecture and the Frognerseteren restaurant near Oslo. The building is wooden, kept in a folk style.

From restaurant to museum and back

Until the 1950s a restaurant operated in the pavilion. Later, from 1967 to 2013, it housed the Natural History Museum. After many years the building returned to its original role: a restaurant was reopened in the pavilion, restoring the function it had held decades earlier.

A heritage monument in the park

The pavilion is entered in the register of immovable heritage monuments. It stands in Norwegian Park in Cieplice-Zdrój, so a walk through the park naturally leads to its door. Nearby, on the same street, are also the Cieplice Thermal Baths.
