Abstract Minimal interference with historical material and maximum preservation is one of the basic principles of the scientific restoration and conservation of monuments of historical and cultural heritage. The creation of nanoscale and microscale inorganic coatings is a promising way to protect limestone and marble cultural heritage objects. We conducted a laboratory testing of a method for stimulating biogenic mineral formation on the surface of limestone-masonry samples from the medieval cav
