Sjællandsgade Public Baths

The red brick building features symmetrical windows, a hipped red tile roof, and separate facilities on two floors for men and women.

The bath house opened in 1917 as part of a municipal initiative to provide sanitation facilities for working-class families living in tenements without private bathrooms.

The Baroque Revival style bathing establishment received protected status in 2013, preserving an important example of early 20th-century public health infrastructure.

Located at Sjællandsgade 12A near Simon's Church, the facility operates through volunteer efforts and maintains regular opening hours for public use.

After closing in the late twentieth century due to widespread private bathroom installations, local volunteers revived the establishment for contemporary community use.
