On the edge of the cemetery in Vimperk stood a house – picturesque, yet neglected for many years. Its original function fluctuated between the cemetery caretaker’s apartment and a modest funeral hall used for final farewells throughout the 20th century. Over time, this place of reverence turned into a utility facility.
