The next stage of the reconstruction of the town’s House of Culture is taking place in Ostrov near Karlovy Vary. A group of North Bohemian restorers is dismantling unique glass chandeliers from the period of socialist realism. The dismantled luminaires will be transported to the restoration workshops in Nový Bor, where they will undergo thorough renovation.
The chandeliers, designed by architect Jaroslav Kraus, have had a long and turbulent history, during which they have survived numerous changes in political leadership but have also suffered significant damage.
