KATARÍNKA work plan for the summer season 2015

As usual, we continue saving St. Catherine’s ruins during the summer season 2015.

What awaits us this year?

Almost final preparations to let tourists access the tower, such as

  • repair vaultings of large windows on the 5th floor of the tower,
  • paving tiles on the 6th floor with scenic view.
  • and put together a missing floor on the 2nd floor and a completion of wooden staircase.

From the last year, inside the Church we continue with

  • repairing of pillar caps in the aisle of the church,
  • masonry of the long wall in the sanctuary,
  • and we also plan to carry out a masonry “experiments” on the northern wall of the monastery.

We will also go further with works in the monastery, especially

  • repairing of the crown of tall thin wall in the middle of the monastery,
  • and with conservating of masonry.

Archeology doesn’t sleep either. There will be probably still going thorough research of the second crypt in the middle of the church and also a small probe in corner of the tower will be carried out.
