History
Ice skating has long been a favourite winter pastime in Brassó. In the 19th century, the sport was practised in the zwingers of the butchers and the goldsmiths. In March 1880, the Kronstädter Eislaufverein (Brassó Skating Association) was founded on the initiative of sports teacher Theodor Kuhlbrand. The pavilion was built between 1894 and 1895 according to a design by the Viennese architect Paul Bräng, and the adjacent ice rink was opened on 22 January 1895. In the summer, the area was used for tennis, and the pavilion was often used for masquerade balls and performances. In 1948, when the communists took power, the Brassó Skating Association was dissolved and the complex was nationalized. In 2018, the pavilion was renovated for the newly opened Museum of Sport and Mountain Tourism.
