An old stage that is no longer used. Lonely corridors that haven't seen any guests for a long time. Meter-high ceilings that were once filled with music and acting. The Crystal Palace, at the back of which you are here, was opened in 1904. Again and again it changed hands and served sometimes as a theater and variety theater, sometimes as a makeshift hospital.

When in 1990 there was uncertainty about the ownership structure, the Crystal Palace had to be closed. All efforts to re-use it have so far failed.

Many details invite you to look, unfortunately they can no longer be saved.

Unfortunately it's just a ruin. Has been in the possession of several investors since 1990 who either did not want to or could not. I guess it's all about the property now😭
