The model project financed by the Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (German Federal Environmental Foundation) to repair anthropogenic foundation damage to Sztynort Palace was implemented in 2014/15 with the active participation of the Chair for Structural Design of the TU Dresden and thus achieved an exemplary adaptation of the house to future changes of environmental conditions. In addition to securing of the masonry of the northwest tower, which had been severely damaged by settlement, and further technically challenging refurbishment works to the partially collapsed cellar vaults, above all innovative solutions were planned, optimized and implemented to install an effective and modern drainage and rain water management system to the historic house with its complex construction.
