Rehabilitation of Santini water system in the Plasy monastery
Řehák, Jakub ; Burgetová, Eva
The article presents the process of restoration of the Baroque convent of the Cistercian Monastery in Plasy found on oak raft and piles. J. B. Santini designed a water system for the preservation of the foundation structure of the convent with pure spring water fed into clay basins under the monastery. This kept the oak foundation structure under water and thus ensured its preservation. In the 19th century, knowledge of the behaviour of the building was lost, all water pipes critical to the stability of the building were severed and many inappropriate interventions were made. Santini was mindful of this possibility and designed an emergency scheme that took into account the possibility of losing all water supplies. In the emergency mode, ambient water (runoff from the road and fields) is withdrawn into the foundation basins. However, this water source does not meet the requirements for conservation of the foundation structure. The structure was in emergency mode for approximately 70 years until 2021 when a suitable water supply was partially restored. This paper describes the restoration of the system, evaluates its impact on the building by comparing the indoor microclimate in the pre- and post-repair periods, and at the same time verifies the possibility of drying the indoor air in the convent by means of cold water spraying, which in the past was provided by a baroque fountain. Based on the results of the measurements, it can be concluded that the repair had a positive effect on the foundation structure of the convent and improved the indoor microclimate. A tracing test identified the mutual interconnection of parts of the water system.
