The building of the Zotl’s Forge originates from the 16th century. The vaults in the large lobby are from the same era, including the typical cobbles and the gothic stone portal that leads to the courtyard. The front side the buttress reminds us of the building’s early origins, even if it was thoroughly altered outside and inside over the course of years.
