Restoring Croatia’s Church of St. Martin with the help of Archicad and BIMx
St. Martin’s was built on a former Templar estate in the 15th to 16th centuries in the late Gothic-Renaissance style. Today, the church lies in ruins as a result of the great earthquake of 1880. Numerous structural cracks occurred during the earthquake and the vaults were partially or completely demolished; the church was never repaired and forgotten over time. The ruins are a protected cultural monument, listed in the Republic of Croatia’s Registry of Cultural Property.
The purpose of the project is to restore this valuable historic building and to revitalize the entire area. The basic building elements missing today are the tower roof and the nave. In the bell tower, the masonry, cracks and foundations will be structurally repaired first. After that, a new, contemporary dome is planned, which will resemble the original baroque dome, but will be adapted to serve the new purpose of the bell tower – a lookout tower. A new spiral staircase or lift is planned for access to the tower.
