Survey on Cultural Heritage Adaptive Reuse practice
| Project Id | 3375 |
| Project Name | Fort Monostor, Hungary |
| Description | The system of historic forts is situated in and around the “twin” towns of Komárom, Hungary, and Komárno, Slovakia on opposite banks of the Danube River. Even taken individually the forts on both sides are genuine historic and cultural treasures, representing the highest level of military architecture of their time and having survived unaltered since the beginning of the 20th century. These forts, and their predecessors have been built and rebuilt over the centuries, but their current forms show the most skilled building techniques and styles from the second half of the 19th century (1852-1890). Today the fort Monostor is going to be restored step by step as a multifunctional cultural site. |
| Description of the economic, social and environmental impacts of the project | Fort Monostor is a national monument, willing to be included, with the other fortifications in the system, including the Danube Opposite fortifications in Slovakia, in the WHlist. The fort is huge and its conservation really difficutl for the high costs. Nevertheless Fort Monostor Ltd has been slowly undertaken conservaiton works imagining a multifunctional reuse of the site, ranging from Museum, to venue place, to visitor attraction with bars, restaurants, etc. It is of interest for CLIC both for the conservation works and the use of design as cultural activator, and for the push to the restoration of other forts in the system, giving back to the cities of Komarom-Komarno a new cultural life, not purely based on the seasonal thermal tourism |
