The 3-storey stable, built in 1906, served coach drivers to store their carriages and keep their horses until the 1960’s. After the departure of the last coach drivers, the stable was used as a warehouse. In the early 2000’s the city recognized the building’s depression and declared the stable a historically valuable building.

Great attention and care was required to preserve the historic details and unique atmosphere of the building while converting it into residential use.
