I'm not sure, as I did it from scratch but not paying any attention. I believe it's about 1:100.

Here's the model, on an A4 sheet, so I beleive one could count the scale basing on the width of the doors (roughly 80 cm).

A typical entry door's height is generally more reliable for determining scale than a door's width. The standard modern entry door height in the USA is 80".

I checked the scale of the model with digital calipers using the height of the door. This paper model looks to be the standard scale that is used for 15 mm wargaming 1:121.92

kcorbin: wow. Great thanks for the time and information. This is modelled to resemble local villas form my town from around 1910-1920, so we may even assume the door is a bit higher, but I guess 2 meter would be OK.

So, 1:122 roughly it is, then

Thanks for the kind words, all of you
