Set the scene.
Completed in 1749, the Baroque building was the residence of the Order’s chaplains. Its three levels connect domestic rooms with underground remains.

Why it still matters.
That oven supplied over 2,000 loaves daily during the war, according to the museum. An old residence could become essential to a town’s food supply.
