G. Vanden Branden - Mechelen Start of works : March 2014 End of works : April 2015 Amount : €uro 532.579.00 W ORK DESCRIPTION : Restoration History – history of the church : In the neo-Gothic building (consecration 1847), the original Romanesque choir tower was integrated into the current west facade. Built-in square west tower of sandstone, topped with a constricted spire and rising to the 12th century. Clear traces of two successive roof slopes of the former single-aisled nave, above the current west entrance; the latter in a round-arched bluestone frame (18th century). For the rest, the building was constructed of brick masonry on a sandstone substructure. Furniture. Painted panels of two Renaissance triptychs, of the Virgin and Saint Hubertus (late 16th century). Baroque statues from the 18th century. Furniture from the 18th century, in Louis XV style, including confessionals, church master's pews, pulpit, enclosed porch and organ. The restoration : covered the entire interior of the church, together with a constructive intervention in the tower at the height of the bells, where a serious stability problem could be identified. In order to ensure that the works run smoothly, a complete interior installation in the church was opted for. Based on a professional lighting study, the necessary electrical cables were incorporated, after which integral plastering and filler work was carried out, followed by painting in an even light shade. Vooruitstrevend voor dit project was de volledige integratie in de bestaande vloer van nieuwe verluchtingskanalen voor een optimale verdeling van de warmte doorheen de kerkruimte. Hiervoor diende in elke zijbeuk 1 grote geul uitgegraven te worden met een lengte van 15 m, breedte van 2m en een diepte van 150cm. Bij deze werken werd ook de dienst archeologie betrokken voor het onderzoek van vrijgekomen beenderen en funderingen halverwege de kerk. Ook voorzien in onze werken was de restauratie en conservatie van al het houtwerk in de kerk. De 18e eeuwse biechtstoel in de rechter kruisbeuk diende volledig heropgebouwd. Deze was doorheen de jaren grondig verzakt en aangetast door houtborende insecten. Copyright © 2021 PIT Antwerp NV . All rights reserved. Theme: Accelerate by ThemeGrill. Powered by WordPress .
