Holidays in the monument combines heritage preservation and tourism. Historically valuable construction tools are taken over, gently renovated and rented as holiday apartments. The model makes a double profit: the monuments get a new future and the holidaymakers experience a stay in an extraordinary building. The idea is realized by the foundation Ferien im Baudenkmal (FiB), which was founded in 2005 by the Swiss Homeland Security.

FLOWER HOLDE - Typical Zurich bar house

 History & Information
The Zürichsee-Riegelhaus dates from the 18th century. Century. Around 1900, the building was converted into apartments. The staircase has been changed and the rooms divided with partitions. Most of these installations were removed during the refurbishment in 2009, so that today the original room structure is available again. All rooms are furnished with original wooden floors and wall and ceiling beetles painted in Biedermeier colors. A modern kitchen and a modern bathroom contribute to contemporary comfort.
On the ground floor there is a studio room. While in 1. Upstairs kitchen, living and dining room are to be found, were in the 2nd and 3. Floor the three bedrooms furnished. The garden reaches to the water. A private boat shelter with rowing boat is also part of the house.

renovation
The house is in the local inventory of buildings worth protecting. It was a concern of the client, as far as possible to return to the original state. The building fabric is in good condition even two hundred years after construction, so it was possible to do without actual interventions. The exterior of the house has been retained in its original form. The walls of the lower two floors are made of plastered masonry. On it stands the actual bar construction, which gives the house its own character. Inside, the floors, walls, ceilings, windows and doors were carefully renovated and restored their original expression with purposeful coloring.
The partitions built around 1900 and other harmonizing elements such as banisters were removed and replaced with fine fixtures that do not disturb the sense of space. The kitchen with a large freestanding fridge and the bathroom with double lavabo, toilet and bath / shower were newly created. The clever design, these new objects fit well into the old house.
