Conclusions derived from the research works
accomplished during cataloguing the palace building
 Necessity to continue the work – the next stage of the project
should focus on cataloguing the park and the side buildings of
the Palace as well as on the research of Polish and Ukrainian
archives
 Obligatory: liquidation of mould centers
 Recommended: unveiling partly bricked up cellar windows in
order to drain humid walls
 Recommended: seasonal airing of all palace rooms in order to
dry them
 Recommended: blocking off the building internal ventilation
system, major part of which has been identyfied during the
cataloguing and research works.
