Description
The guest house was built in 1888 to be used together with the healthy warm springs nearby in the valley. The building was later (from 1929-1955) used by the Norwegian School for missionary children. Demolished in 1974. The road on the west side of the building leads to the new cure bath at Ranomafana.
