Conservation of the southern façade of Horní Hrad of the Český Krumlov state castle

Abstract

The respectful approach of this intervention, which considered the historic fabric a genuine testimony of its authenticity and therefore safeguarded all the marks and traces of its stratification, sets an excellent example for other restoration works on façades of buildings and monuments. The use of traditional techniques and materials such as consolidation with lime wash guaranteed the compatibility and reversibility of the intervention. The execution process also represents a magnificent example of coordination in such important restoration works.
