Individual rooms are heated by electric radiators. The apartment has preserved many elements of the late Baroque and stucco, which add historical value.
For several decades, the Schweiger House was owned by the noble Slovenian poet Lili Novy, who lived there her entire life and is immortalized by a bust by the sculptor Ljuj Vodopivec at the entrance to the building.

Above the portal is a bust of Atlas with his index finger on his lips, and under the cornice in the façade are the coats of arms of the nobleman Schweiger and his wife, who ordered the construction of this palace.
The interior of this famous Baroque palace is decorated with stucco ceilings, an interesting staircase and parts of the original interior decoration. The Schweiger Palace, or Lili Novy House, is not only an architectural monument, but also a historical and cultural one, closely associated with the Austro-Hungarian court, Prešeren and a number of outstanding cultural figures of Slovenia and Austria.
The construction design of the apartment offers several important advantages.
