We are continuously monitoring the reconstruction of King Louis the Great's Gothic castle with four corner towers, built in 1364 based on Italian and southern French models. Follow the progress here. Since our our last report, and has reached the most spectacular structures of the castle's interior.
The aim of the renovation of the 14th-century castle, which is part of the Modern Cities Programme, is to turn the castle and its immediate surroundings into a major tourist centre in Central Europe. The general contractor for the project is Épkar Zrt. and FK-RASZTER Zrt.. Project manager Zoltán Kolozsvári, chief construction manager Attila Stupeczky and construction manager Zsolt Vári provided our newspaper with details of the construction.
Here come the most spectacular elements
As you can see, the mechanical and electrical piping in all parts of the building is ongoing, and on the second floor of the inner castle, on the eastern wing of the palace, the partitions have been completed, and the external Gothic stone frames of the Falsíki wall have been inserted at the restaurant,
And on the western wing of the palace, they began to install the consoles of the killer patrol.
Work on the outside of the castle is also well underway: waterproofing of the terrace and carpentry work on the roof of the external kitchen building have started. The masonry work on the hexagonal staircase tower is nearing completion, and the stone frames are being installed.
The wooden ramonade (vaulting template) has been lifted into the elevator staircase tower of the west tower pair next to the bridge, so that the masonry of one of the most spectacular elements of the interior, the star vault, can begin.
Work continues at several levels
While work starts on the star arches of the inner castle, the carpenters will also start on the roof of the north side, which will slowly begin to give the outer silhouette of the inner castle its final shape.
The work is not stopping in the outer castle, where the Épkar and FK-Raster team have completed the basalt concrete pavement in the kazamata.
