"Walking along the river, it is worth stopping at this Neo-Renaissance palace. Ship pilots used it a long time ago. Unfortunately, it requires renovation and but maybe you can visit it inside. I was in the evening and it was closed."

"Decently cool-looking building but very worn down. Don’t seem like you can go in or anything, so you just go there to have a look for a minute and leave again."
