Reconstruction of a Baroque Open Beam Ceiling Based on Material Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

Reconstruction of a ceiling in the north-eastern wing of a former water fortress in Jeseník was carried out during the repair of its roof structure and replacement of the roof. The most damaged parts of the bearing ceiling beams were removed and partially replaced with new timber in the 70s of the 20th C. The way the work was carried out corresponded to the methods and approaches of the cultural heritage protection of that time. The replacement of damaged heads of ceiling beams with new timber that was fitted without connection to the original ceiling beams and only simply hanged on a metal girder can be considered highly provisional from the current perspective. That is why the repair of timber structures of the water fortress included also a reconstruction of the original ceiling system. Surveys focusing on the building archaeology and material assessing the condition of the incorporated timber were important for the final design of the repair and the concept of presentation of the Baroque ceilings.
