The health of the trees in the alley is poor. It was necessary for researchers to implement recovery dendrology work – to crop dry branches and cut down diseased individuals. In the future, further reconstruction will be done in parts, to maintain the atmosphere of today’s ancient trees and to gradually replace them all. The […]
Restoration work on rescuing the Baroque frescoes of chapel 6 began in 2008. The frescoes were threatened by encroaching moisture in the walls and consequent sloughing. It was necessary to carry out urgent restoration, and recovery of the overall chapel space – drainage under the pavement in the interior, repair of grilles and access doors […]
Restoration work on the precious Baroque frescoes of chapel 4,which were damaged by wet walls, began in 2005. Plaster was cracked and in many places the original frescoes had harmful cement seals.

Therefore, in 2009 restoration began […]
The chapel is set in the hillside and therefore the rear wall was structurally disturbed. During restoration research the cement plaster was partially exposed. The masonry, stone articles, ledges and their original morphology was severely disrupted, while the back wall was completely missing. Conservation and restoration of the chapel consists of three parts: 1/building […]
The newer cement plaster was removed during restoration research to establish the status of the masonry, stone articles, ledges and their original morphology. The main facade of the chapel, including stone ledges and the wall was the best preserved of the chapel and thus became the model for the restoration of other chapels in which […]
The chapel had weathered plaster, original stone articles were lacking and were inappropriately replaced by disparate construction materials – such as white brick,basalt cubes and the like. Original stone mantels were deformed. During the restoration the facade was restored,drainage around the chapel was implemented and its interior renovated. The surrounding terrain was groomed, and […]
