A 1.800 sq.m. green park, featuring old trees, surrounds a Wilhelminian-style villa in the heart of a small town, located just 15 km from Stuttgart.

BORG RADSTADT – Extention and renovation
A School Redefines Itself After winning an international architectural competition, the Pierre de Coubertin BORG Radstadt was fundamentally transformed to meet the demands of modern education.
