VILLA GRÉBOVKA
Home to the CEELI Institute
The Villa Grébovka was built in the late 19th century as the summer home of Moritz Gröbe, an industrialist who made his fortune in mining and railroads. The CEELI Institute completed the Villa’s transformation into a conference and residential center in 2007.
