Unfortunately, in the winter of 2022/23 we had tried a renovation with an unsuitable company (RenovHaus). Therefore, the baths are only a temporary arrangement and we are in a legal dispute with this company. In addition, there was a water damage in June 2025 due to improper work of this company and we cannot address it due to the legal dispute. Therefore, the shower on the upper floor can not be used, but the lavabos already can.
