Prague 5: The cultural monument will serve seniors
18.01.2022 16:43 | Press Release
The historically valuable building of the former chateau has undergone a demanding and sensitive reconstruction for almost 134 million crowns. The classicist Raudnitz House will now welcome the first tenants from the ranks of seniors, who will have facilities for a nursing service and a general practitioner’s office.
“It is a combination of a listed building and modern facilities for social services in the 21st century. For the first time, for example, we have installed rainwater storage tanks in a facility of a similar type, which will be used for watering and flushing toilets, ”says the Deputy Mayor of Prague 5 for Strategic Development and Investment, Tomáš Homola (STAN).
Raudnitz House now offers 22 small flats for seniors available 2 + 1 and 1 + 1 with wheelchair access, as well as 2 small flats for teachers from a nearby primary school and 1 flat for a caretaker. The comprehensive services in the environment of the protected landscape area will also include a doctor’s office and an offer of additional services in the form of massages, pedicures and hairdressing. The area of Raudnitz’s house is complemented by a social hall, a winter garden and spaces for a community center.
“We want the cultural monument not to be a closed community, but we also count on the activities of people from the surrounding area. It should be a historic place in a beautiful environment for intergenerational meetings and various events, “adds the councilor of Prague 5 for the social area Petr Lachnit (YES).
The chateau, the reconstruction of which also used subsidies from the European Union, dates its history to the second half of the 16th century. The original fortress changed its appearance and purpose over time. At the end of the 18th century, for example, it served as a manor house and was later rebuilt in the Classicist style into a private country residence.
