Exercishuset, Gothenburg, Sport and event building near Heden, Sweden

The Exercishuset stands as a substantial brick structure situated at Parkgatan 35, featuring large windows and high ceilings suited for physical activities.

Built in 1867 through merchant Julius Lindström's donation, the Exercishuset was designed by architect Frans Jacob Heilborn for school children and military training.

The building transformed from a military training facility into a community center, hosting gymnastics, table tennis, dance classes, and historical fencing activities.

Visitors can reach the facility through public transportation, with booking arrangements available through the Gothenburg Sports and Associations Administration.

During the housing crisis after World War I, the entire building was converted into emergency housing, with wooden walls creating single-room apartments.
