This more than 140-year-old house fell victim to arsonists. In broad daylight, unknown individuals entered the Wilhelminian-era monument, which the last resident had vacated only a few weeks earlier because, after a long dispute involving strikes, protests, and legal proceedings, it was finally to be rebuilt and renovated.
Then the arsonist struck and set fire to several floors of the enormous building, which until ten years ago had housed a long-established furniture dealer.
It took the fire department eight hours to contain the flames. In these few hours, the house, recently sold for almost a million euros, has become a ruin that will likely have to be demolished.
