Roof overhaul at former castle chapel

The renovation of St Martin's Church in Ostrów Tumski, which is also one of the oldest sacred buildings in Wroclaw, includes a roof overhaul at the nave and the tower.

The work to renovate a small church by the Pope John XIII Monument is entering a new stage. "We're now in the process of replacing roof tiles in the section above the nave and the tower," says the contractor's representative. "Dormers have already been replaced, and a new cornice has been provided. All of our works are supervised by the Wroclaw City Conservation Officer." This 14th-century church is what remains from a castle founded by dukes from the Silesian line of the Piast dynasty. The church area has been converted many times since the castle's demolition, and the church has served many congregations over the years. Before World War II, the church served the Polish community in Wroclaw, and religious service in Polish was provided. The church sustained severe damage during World War II and was later restored in the 1950s. The church still holds religious services.

"We're planning to sand the elevation next year," says the contractor's representative. The roof overhaul comes to a close at the end of the week and is carried out by Dachmet on the commission by the Municipality of Wroclaw and Wroclaw Archdiocese.
