Eleven participants and two trainers met from 19 to 30 August in the church castle of Peli\u0219or for the summer school HANDS ON CONSERVATION II. The Fortified Churches Foundation together with the association P.A.T.R.U. (Patrimoniu, Arhitectur\u0103, Tradi\u021bie, Rit \u0219i Universalitate) had taken over the organization of this ten-day workshop.<\/p>\n

Architects, students, civil engineers, craftsmen, landscape architects and other interested persons could practice this summer in Peli\u0219r directly “on the object” the contact with historical building materials. Monument conservator Sebastian Bethge from the Fortified Churches Foundation and Christian Rummel, carpenter from Richi\u0219, led the training of the traditional carpenter’s art.<\/p>\n

At the centre of the work on the 15th century church was a wooden construction on the inside of the gate tower. It had already been unusable for over twenty years and its poor condition not only posed a danger but also made access to the upper floors more difficult. These elements had already been dismantled by the Fortified Churches Foundation in 2017 and temporarily stored in the nave of the church. With the support of the foundation “Patrimonium Saxonicum” of the Sibiu architect Dr. Hermann Fabini, smaller bricklaying works could also be carried out and harmful vegetation removed.<\/p>\n
