With a lot of money in the lower 5-digit range, they wanted to do something good for the swallows and built this swallow hotel. In the box at the bottom there was a battery and at the top of the head there are loudspeakers from which the voices of swallows can be heard to attract other swallows. However, a nest has never been inhabited.
