Idea projektu

The concept of the castle restoration emphasizes the preservation and rehabilitation of its historical valuable elements.

The restoration plan includes the renovation of the external and internal plasterwork, with the window openings replaced with modern functional replicas historic windows that respect the original aesthetics of the building. Unpretentious and non-original structures that detract from the authenticity of the building will be removed. The existing modern extension, which does not meet the current requirements for quality and functionality will be replaced by a new, modern extension. This extension will be designed to respect the architectural context and functionality of the building and will include a lift shaft to provide disabled access to the second floor. As part of the revitalisation some of the supporting structures will be modified or replaced to better to better suit the new layout and functionality requirements of the building. These changes will include the creation of new door openings to provide better connection of the individual spaces. This approach ensures a balanced compromise between preserving the historic character of the building and its modern functional adaptation.
