Eleonora's pavilion is a romantic building hidden in the forest and built in 1812. Its name is derived from Eleonora Liljencrantz, wife of former Minister of Finance, Johan Liljencrantz.

There are lots of warning signs in this area, including one asking people to walk their bikes when passing through. It's probably a good idea to comply and hopefully stay on everyone's good side. :)
