Project initiated by UAB Karmeda is orientated to restoration of worn wooden cultural heritage building which has rare historical significance, unique and valuable features and the development of public awareness of cultural heritage importance.

Very poor condition of the wooden cultural heritage building is the main problem of the project. Foundation is fractured and wet, walls are cracking, the condition of roof and entablement construction is bad, roof and other items are replaced with non-genuine, the wood is going to destruction, relevant architectural details are decomposed.

Project implementation would not be possible without the financial support given the fact that the building is completely worn out and its restoration work requires a lot of investment. The value of the project is not limited only by preserving the unique cultural heritage, but also is important to develop the local community as well as public awareness of cultural heritage preservation.

Exclusivity of the project:

This building is characteristic architectural example of the Curonian Spit wooden residential houses. It has all old architectural elements - carved flying, modular construction etc. Unique construction allows you to move house from one place to another and was critical for those living in littoral.
This house is the oldest building in the area which was built at the beginning of twentieth century. This building has launched new, emerging representative street furnishing of the town center. The first buildings on a plot of the current Preilos g. 85 were built in 1851 and 1909. This great residential house built sideways to the street was the first who started the new central Preilos Urban street furnishing.
