The Pavilion is an unconstructable building in Age of Empires II. Like Houses, Pavilions provide five population. They appear in some campaigns and are available in the Scenario Editor (under the Building tab, formerly under Other tab). There are three separate types of Pavilion, different in appearance. Each player starts with a Pavillion in the Marketplace map.

Some technology upgrades apply to Pavilions, as they serve the same function as Houses.
