There is also one mixed sauna (fkk-sauna) between the ladies and gentlemen's area. It also contains a café and a restaurant.
The bathhouse was inaugurated in June 1898 as an initiative by C.A. Richter, who bought the old bathhouse at Nyhamn port, which was being sold because of the port's expansion. Four years later a storm damaged the new bath during Christmas and it was rebuilt. During the refurbishment a diving tower was added to the men's section, with a view of the strait and the women's section. During the 1930s it was modernised with nude bathing and partitions were added between the sections. In 1966, the City of Malmö purchased the baths.
