Vintage Hotels: Gyllene Uttern
Gyllene Uttern - "The Golden Otter" - in southern Sweden was originally built as a roadside café in 1932 but the castle-like building was added within a few years. It is now mainly a hotel and restaurant. I haven't passed it in many years but it is supposed to look very much the same as when the German Nazi flag was up for German visitors (4th image).

Architecture: ...and look what they turned down!
This is actually what the same architect (as the one below) , Gert Wingårdh, first came up with! But the the politicians in Stockholm are just such a bunch of cowards! They thought it was just too spaced out and turned it down! So they chose to erect a building that is plain, blends in and will probably simply disappear... (sigh!)
