Abstract
Investigations and conservation treatment of the 10th century Lednica Castle - the most important and best preserved remains of a palatine-type Royal Castle in Poland. The materials were hard, resistant boulder stone and weak, porous gypsum mortar. Investigations determined the morphology of mortar decay processes as well as methods for its consolidation with and inorganic, clear solution as a recrystallizing agent. The paper presents an advanced preservation technique and treatment method for monuments undertaken by the Museum of First Piasts at Lednica within the broader context of environmental protection. -- CAL
