Björngårdsvillan, Historical building in Slottsskogen, Gothenburg, Sweden.
The Björngårdsvillan features extended horizontal lines and central entrances, reflecting functionalist architectural principles in its modern construction from 1962.
The original structure, inaugurated in 1905 and designed by Ernst Krüger, burned down during a devastating fire on December 13, 1951.
Between 1923 and the opening of Liseberg, the building served as a central gathering place for youth entertainment, hosting performances that drew thousands.
The building currently houses Dômen konstskola, which acquired the property in 2005 after its brief period as a tropical house from 1998 to 2003.
The building received its name from a nearby bear cave, where a donated bear resided in Slottsskogen starting from 1902.
