The premises
BCWT comprises two buildings, with a magnificent view of the medieval town, the cathedral and the sea.
The dwelling-house has eleven high-standard studios/bedrooms, while the building across the street houses the common rooms: kitchen, library, drawing-room, TV-room, Finnish sauna etc.
The kitchen is well-equipped and intended for self-catering. lt is also a natural meeting-place, where people informally can get to know foreign colleagues. Bed-linen and towels are supplied by the Centre; there is a laundry room for common use, as well as bicycles.
