Hercules Pavilion, Royal pavilion in Rosenborg Castle Gardens, Denmark
The Hercules Pavilion features three ornate statues in niches: a central figure of Hercules flanked by representations of Orpheus and Eurydice.
Built in 1606 as the Blue Pavilion during King Christian IV's reign, architect Caspar Frederik Harsdorff transformed it into a Neoclassical structure in 1773.
The pavilion contains hidden sound ducts from its original construction, allowing musicians to play on the ground floor while royalty listened privately above.
The ground floor now functions as Café Herkules, while the upper level provides space for cultural activities and community gatherings.
The structure served as a royal hermitage in 1671, equipped with a specialized kitchen featuring Dutch tiles for the family to dine without servants.
