In Lviv, as part of the #DEMEZA project, practical training is being conducted for building managers, representatives of utilities and condominiums on the preservation of cultural heritage.
Using the example of a particular building, the restorers share practical recommendations for repairing walls, carpentry, and forged elements. The day before, the fifth meeting in this format was held in a house belonging to a valuable historical building at 9 Khotynska Street.
“At the meeting, we discussed the importance of complying with the requirements for maintaining the facades of buildings and structures in the historic area. Also, together with the restorers, we discussed methodological recommendations for the repair of walls, wooden structures, and metal elements,” the Heritage Bureau said.
It should be noted that such exercises have recently been held in Halych, Frankivsk, Lychakiv, and Zaliznychnyi districts. Similar meetings will also be held in Sykhiv and Shevchenkivskyi districts of Lviv.
Earlier, a series of trainings on the preservation of cultural heritage for building managers, representatives of utilities and condominiums were conducted by employees of the Department of Historic Environment Protection and the Heritage Bureau. They talked about, among other things, the procedure for maintaining the facades of monuments and buildings located in the historic area of Lviv; responsibility for the condition of a building or individual architectural elements that pose a threat to human safety. Also, about the opportunities for owners of monuments within the framework of co-financing programs for the restoration of historic windows, gates, and balconies in buildings that are cultural heritage monuments.
