Sarogleio Mansion, Officers' club in neo-baroque mansion in Athens, Greece

The Sarogleio Mansion is a baroque revival building in central Athens with ornate details covering its exterior walls and spacious rooms inside. It sits at the corner of Vasilissis Sofias Avenue and Rigillis Street, standing out with its distinctive architectural presence.

Petros Saroglos, a national benefactor and officer, left money in his 1909 will for a club for army and navy officers. The plot on Vasilissis Sofias was bought in 1928, Alexandros Nikoloudis's plans were approved on 13 May 1929, and construction began on 2 August 1929. The club moved in around late April 1932, with work finished by early 1933.

The building is named after Petros Saroglos, a national benefactor and officer whose 1909 will funded the General Officers' Club of Land and Sea, later LAED. His bequest also left 86 paintings by Greek and foreign artists, among them Lytras, Gyzis and Prosalentis, plus a weapons collection and 3,250 coins. The club museum displays part of these holdings.

The mansion faces Vasilissis Sofias Avenue at its corner with Rigillis Street, with the Byzantine and Christian Museum to the east, the Museum of Cycladic Art to the north and the Lyceum of Aristotle to the south. It operates as the Armed Forces Officers' Club, so access is for members and their guests rather than the general public.

Petros Saroglos, an officer and national benefactor, left the club 86 paintings by Greek and foreign artists, among them works by Lytras, Gyzis and Prosalentis, plus 105 rare 16th- and 17th-century icons. Some icons are displayed at the nearby Byzantine Museum and part of his weapons collection at the Military Museum.
