Liljeholmsbadet, Swimming pool building in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden.
Liljeholmsbadet is a floating bathhouse located in Liljeholmsviken near Hornstulls strand in Stockholm. The structure contained a swimming pool with varying water depths suited for different swimming abilities.
The bathhouse opened in 1930 as part of Stockholm's network of public waterfront facilities. It served as a gathering place for swimmers and became rooted in the city's recreational traditions.
The name reflects the Liljeholm district and the bathing culture that drew locals and visitors for generations. The structure remains a symbol of how Stockholm once integrated public swimming into its waterfront life.
The building is visible from the waterfront and stands out due to its condition and floating structure. Visitors should know that the facility is not currently operational and can only be viewed from the shore.
The bathhouse experienced a dramatic incident when it sank during the 1950s and required salvage operations to be recovered. After being raised, it underwent repairs and was moved to a new location further west.
