What country in Europe has the most castles? Surprisingly, it's not France's Loire or Germany's Bavaria. According to National Geographic, the true epicentre is Wales, which boasts more castles per square mile than any other European country. Every so often, some castles are put up for sale. They are purchased for hotels, restaurants, private residences, and filming locations. Sometimes, these ancient buildings are sold for a symbolic amount but with a special clause 😲. The main condition is restoration and adherence to the style of the era. Everything must be done authentically. Oops! 😟 But if the castle's stone walls remain intact, where can you find a 13th-18th century-style roof? 😰 Metrotile doesn't have a time machine, but it does offer stone-coated roof profiles that capture the classic look of wooden roofs while providing the strength of steel. In addition to its authentic appearance, this metal roof has another important advantage – it's lightweight. This means the new roof won't put additional strain on the old structures and can be installed easily and quickly. 🥳 Your castle, nestled under a Metrotile roof, will transport you to a world where Sleeping Beauty slumbers, Mozart plays his first concert, or a young D'Artagnan receives his horse, rusty sword, and wise fatherly advice. 📸 Video: The Castle Hrádok, perched on a small hill near the river Belá in the north of Slovakia, adorned with Metrotile Shake in a striking Coal Black colour. Even if you don't plan on buying a castle, explore the Metrotile range to give your building a visual connection to a glorious historical past: https://lnkd.in/dN-THt5D

Welcome to Episode 2 of our maintenance saga at #CantacuzinoCastle! Today, we're tackling a project a century in the making: replacing the rooftop tiles that have stood the test of time for over 100 years. Though it might sound straightforward, the reality is far from it. Every step requires meticulous care and precision. The color of the new tiles must receive the green light from the Monuments Commission, ensuring historical accuracy in every hue. Moreover, the manufacturer is tasked with replicating the exact specifications of the materials used a century ago. Weight is another critical factor. We must ensure that the new tiles match the original's weight to maintain the structural integrity of our beloved castle. This restoration isn't just maintenance—it's a commitment to preserving history with the utmost respect for our heritage. #HeritagePreservation #CommitmentToExcellence #CulturalHeritage #SustainableTourism #HistoricalConservation #ArchitecturalHeritage #ProtectOurPast

Roughly three basic forms can be distinguished within landscape art: omissions from the landscape, additions to the landscape and actions in the landscape. By placing an abstract work in a changing landscape, Antoniem visualizes the contrast between the cube and its environment. This makes the essence of the cube more apparent.

VIMAR: A LOST HERITAGE Located in the middle of the Cojuango-Chichioco ancestral house and Casa Real are two mid-20th-century houses beside the cinema palace, which were demolished. Now, the site is being developed into a new shopping center. Among the Cine Malolos, Cine Estrella, and Eden cinema, the youngest cinema palace faced demolition, which is the Vimar Cinema. Cine Malolos was demolished due to lightweight materials, and Cine Estrella was replaced by a commercial building now rented by a famous fast-food chain. At that time, two remaining cinema palaces were seen, but unfortunately, now the remaining is the facadism that occurred at Eden cinema. Vimar Cinema, erected in the 1960s on Paseo del Congreso, showcased Brutalist architecture. Despite being under the 2001 declaration as a heritage zone and the enforcement of RA 10066, it met the fate of demolition in 2022. Why was a demolition permit granted? Why didn’t the national agency monitor our counted heritage town? It’s unfortunate that the easiest option was chosen without considering the potential of incorporating existing structures into new functions. Retaining structures like Vimar Cinema, similar to what happened with Eden cinema, could have preserved the cultural heritage while repurposing the space for a new function. It’s important to consider the historical and architectural significance of such structures when making development decisions. #VIMAR #LostHeritage #MgaPalasyongNagtatanghalNgPelikula #Pamana #NHM2024
