Restoration and Preservation of Medieval Churches: Responding to Natural Disasters
Some of the most complex and most interesting preservation and restoration projects have been carried out in and around great medieval churches. The large number of ancient church structures and their geographic ubiquity subject them to a relatively large number of natural disasters. The emotional attachment to these structures as places of worship and as cornerstones of religious and cultural history, as well as their economic importance as sites for tourism, have made them popular candidates for preservation and restoration efforts. Four examples of restoration and preservation efforts at medieval churches damaged by natural disasters in the last several decades are cited herein to illustrate the problems encountered and solutions employed.
