Rescue work at the Church of St. Nicholas the Bishop in Kamieniec Podolski

In 2017, 17th-century wall paintings were discovered in the chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary in the Church of St Nicholas the Bishop in Kamenets Podolski.

In 2019, during a volunteer camp funded by the POLONIKA Institute as part of the Volunteer Programme, further wall paintings were discovered within the church's music choir. Both finds required urgent salvage work to remove the dirt, make ties to stabilise the paintings, underpin the plaster, and reinforce the paint layer.

Executor: Cultural Heritage Foundation

The conservation work was carried out in 2019 as part of the Polonica Institute's strategic programme "Protection of Polish cultural heritage abroad".

Time of origin:

17th century.
