What is this??

Close to the bathroom door (also the entry), but it's around the bathroom light switch.

Some sort of central heating switch? But the apartment is from 50s and each heater has its own switch.

The towel hanger in bathroom is hot anyway, so what's the purpose of that thing?

Most probably it uses electricity, so be ready for a higher bill

In my case, I really don't mind to pay more for a warm bathroom floor :D

it is not only for heating but also for getting rid of humidity and to avoid mold, if I am not mistaken it should be in constant use but not at high temperatures.

It depends. Often it's only for convenience.
