We would like to introduce you to our unique project, WORKCAMP – PARQUET RESTORER 2025, which will culminate this September at the magnificent Esterházy Palace in Austria. This extraordinary initiative is being organized in partnership with the Austrian Federal Monuments Authority – BDA Mauerbach, Vienna.
The aim of our project is to professionally restore historic parquet floors that have been stored in the palace’s cellars for decades and reintegrate them into the palace interiors and their historical context. The project consists of several phases, including restoration work in specialized workshops, expert seminars on traditional techniques and material science, and the international exchange of knowledge and expertise.
A key part of the project is a practical workshop organized in collaboration with Coburg University of Applied Sciences and Arts, where traditional restoration techniques are applied. These methods are not only essential for preserving cultural heritage but also serve as a source of inspiration for contemporary design and modern craftsmanship.
The highlight of the project will be the final installation of the restored parquet flooring, carried out in just five days during ongoing visitor operations at Esterházy Palace. Together with our international team, we aim to set an example of collaboration and dedication to the preservation of European cultural heritage. Additionally, the project embraces the principles of Circular Heritage, a sustainable approach to restoring historic buildings using traditional construction methods.
We warmly invite you to support this exceptional project. Whether through financial contributions, material supplies, or other resources, your support will play a vital role in ensuring the success of this initiative. As a supporter, you will gain visibility in our publications, events, and public relations efforts while actively contributing to the preservation of European culture and craftsmanship.
We would be delighted to provide further information or arrange a personal meeting to discuss the project. Let us work together to restore the historic parquet flooring of Esterházy Palace to its former glory!
