Bresser contributes to the future-proofing of the beautiful house ‘Borg Rusthoven’ in Wirdum, Groningen. We will upgrade this heritage by providing it with base isolation.

The relocation of the complex, consisting of several sperate objects, takes place in phases. The first object was moved on 10 September. This 800-tons weighing monument is positioned near the recently relocated 800-year-old Artuklu hamam and the 15th century tomb of Zeynel bey, which was relocated in 2017.
