From a glass factory to a cultural hub
An old glass factory in Slovenia’s oldest town has recently been revamped and reopened as a youth cultural centre. The project will reestablish the centre of Ptuj as a regional hub for innovation. Estimated at 4.9 million EUR, the renovation has been lauded by event organisers, who look forward to hosting their events in the new venue steeped in industrial history.
Uplifting the historic city centre
Giving a new lease of life to the old factory has helped uplift the city centre of Ptuj. As part of the renovation, public areas were entirely renovated, and new trees were planted.
The purpose of the renovation and revitalisation was to preserve the urban industrial heritage and ensure an even greater connection with the existing cultural and festival activities. The area has always been a place of creativity and a generator of ideas where future creators can hone their skills. Event organisers can now host their events for up to 150 guests in a unique venue in Slovenia’s oldest town.
