Short Description

Ambulance for monuments - Oltenia Vest has set out to save one of the most valuable assets in Oltenia, which is currently in an advanced state of degradation and needs urgent intervention before losing it for good.

Details

It was built in the 18th century and is special because it is among the only ones that retain the original roof. The building is private property received in a deplorable state a few years ago and is currently in litigation. Still, the owner will facilitate obtaining accommodation for volunteers in the village. For Cula Crăsnaru, this emergency intervention is her last chance.

The works we are proposing follow the completion of the oak elements of the roof and the installation of 3-layer spruce cladding to protect the building from the weather; before this work, we will reside the degraded brick coronation and restore the collapsed arches. Where cracks/fractures have appeared, these will be sewn into strips, injected with special non-invasive mortars, and reinforced by mounting points of helicoidal rods. Other works will target adding the ceiling beams to the final level.
