Description

The entire building consists of three parts. The south wing protrudes into the street and impresses with its semicircular ending and the long ribbon windows. In the north is located the visitors' building with the waiting and cash desk area. It is covered by a glass roof, being very bright during the day. Between the two buildings is put the stairway with the vertical ribbon windows.

We are going to upload photos of the interior soon.
