The night when the canon house comes to life… June 22, 2024.
Construction work will continue in the castle district in 2024, so we have gathered some important information about the opening hours:
In 2023, the Work in Progress 2023 exhibition and the related helmet tours welcomed more than 30,000 visitors. We thank you for your attention and invite you to join us in 2024 as we have plenty more sights and experiences in store.
In front of the Gizella Chapel stood proudly the building related to the Work in Progress 2023 exhibition, which was actually a glazed container pavilion cleverly fitting the atmosphere of the renovations.

Behind the scenes

Research

It includes all preparatory works aimed at getting to know the monument as thoroughly as possible.

Conceptualization

The information gathered during research is processed during the highly complex planning stage. What can we show from the past? What should we emphasize and what should we put in the background? We present the dilemmas, choices, and alternative solutions.

Execution

Our mission is to achieve that the construction and restoration works should not keep the visitors away, but to bring them closer to the buildings and artefacts, and to present the cultural heritage they carry through the stages of their preservation in a unique way.
