Detail showing the efforts undertaken<br />

<strong>to</strong> res<strong>to</strong>re column “MP 7”<br />

in order <strong>to</strong> save as much of the<br />

original material as possible and<br />

retain the original design intention.<br />

Carved timber was added in the<br />

upper part of the column replacing<br />

the damaged part (including the<br />

tenon).<br />

Holes that had been made for the<br />

installation of planking between<br />

the northern columns were repaired.<br />
