Description:
Until 1983 the building was used as a retirement home and was then converted into a center for short-term medical treatment for old people. Building work lasted for one and a half year. Renovation aimed to preserve as much as possible of the historic construction. The exterior of the building remained practically unchanged. Restoration was carried out with a great deal of care. The interior was modernized in accordance with the new requirements, without altering supporting (load-bearing) structures.
