Prague – The reconstruction of the ground floor of the Old Town Hall in Prague will cost the capital city 29.98 million CZK. The interiors, including the floors, will be repaired in the building, and the contract also includes the renewal of installations. This follows from a document published in the public procurement bulletin and the tender arena website. The work will be carried out by the company Pohl. In the past, renovations included, among others, the tower with a gallery, the astronomical clock, and the altar in the chapel.

The subject of the public procurement is construction work on the ground floor of the Old Town Hall, repairs and modifications of technological equipment and technological installations located in the basement or ground floor of the building, as stated in the document. The selected company will also be tasked with ensuring the occupancy permit for the spaces, expert restoration of the floors and staircase, and also relocating glass sculptures.

According to previous information, the repairs will involve plasterwork, stucco, and painting, with lime plaster mixtures and lime coatings used in all areas. The floor tiles will be refurbished. The windows and doors on both the southern and northern sides are not original but period-appropriate, and therefore they will be replaced with new ones.

On the right side will be a corridor through which visitors will pass to the upper floors, to the tower, the historical basement, and the restrooms.
