[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Some houses of the old Trebic's Jewish Quarter are perfectly preserved or refurbished, some not. This is a former poorhouse and one would say "nomen omen". But despite its poor status, it still keeps its own picturesque beauty.

From the Trebic's official UNESCO website:

The original Baroque building exhibiting a complex layout with entrances at different levels was a typical ghetto feature known as condominium, which means a house divided both horizontally and vertically into several parts belonging to different owners. The house was used as an poorhouse of the local Jewish community, expressing the charity feeling of the community. It was in existence during the whole 19th century, and in 1908 was refurbished by the community so that finally a large ensemble, including the small houses around the yard in Skalni Street, developed here.

BTW: I know the lamp post shouldn't right in the centre, but any other view would include even more disturbing iron fence.

Bonjour Marek
Très belle présentation de cette ancienne maison, abandonnée je suppose. L'image est d'une grande netteté, les couleurs sont belles sous le soleil.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hi Marek. Personally I don't mind the placement of the light pole. You know as good as the colors are for some reason I think this would be nice as a b/w probably because of all the great textures. Great shot Marek!
