A HISTORICAL BUILDING'S RESTORATION IN THE CONSTRUCTIONAL ASPECT ON THE EXAMPLE OF A BUILDING LOCATED IN POLAND

Objects of cultural heritage are an extremely important element in the proper functioning of the social life. They provide information on our ancestors' actions, as well as shape our culture and social awareness. It is important for the historical objects to provide those information accurately, that is without any unnecessary human intervention over the years of the monument's existence. However, it is not always possible due to the damages influencing the objects. Actions aiming at strengthening the structure need to be taken in a large number of monuments. Nevertheless, the aforesaid strengthening should interfere as little as possible with the historical structure. Examples of such procedures are discussed in this article, on the basis of an object located in the northern part of Poland. The building, unused for years, fell into ruin and required a thorough renovation. The paper discusses strengthening works of both wooden and steel-brick ceilings. The works involving deepening and strengthening of foundations ensuring the stability of the whole building were also presented. Demonstrated was the reinforcement of the walls based on rebuilding, gluing bars in joints, and using a replacement system in the form of a reinforced concrete frame.
