All the signs said it was a hotel on the former complex of Alfred Nobel's explosives factory.
Based on the construction and the shape of the holes in the floor, I can't imagine that.

It’s called „hotel” by locals due to it’s shape with characteristic balcony however it was nitrocelulose station where celulose was nitrated. Process was extremaly toxic. Balconies were needed to allow workers to take quick brake from acidic gases. Holes in the floor are leftovers from vertical mixing instalation. On the top floor you can find concrete celulose reservoirs. On the ground floor cylindrical bases for tanks and machinery. Ground floor was covered with special tiles that could stand contact with acid. Building have concrete support and walls made of bricks. Because nitrocelulose is explosive the whole idea is: in case of explosion the support remains while the walls are blown up. This solution allowed to quickly fix damage and continue production.
