WOODEN HOUSE IN BERGA BAZAR











The wooden house is the oldest building in Berga Bazaar, built around 1840. In 1884, K. Bergs began to build stone houses around the building, even at that time with the idea of demolishing the house. There were three shops on the first floor of the house and two apartments on the second floor. In the 1930s, a carpentry workshop was set up on the first floor of the house.
In 1992, after the property was recovered, debates about demolishing the wooden house resumed, similar to 100 years ago. However, in 1997, the owners decided to restore the building and set up their office in it. An architect's office was built in the attic of the building.
During the reconstruction process, the wooden parts of the building - two spiral staircases, two entrance doors, facade cladding and details - were restored to their authentic appearance. The original roof truss of the building has been fully preserved. In contrast to the old, there are new details that have emerged as a result of the renovation: huge aluminum showcases, balcony structures, wooden windows with double glazing, interior doors, oak plank floors, and a slate roof covering.
