The Lovrić House, a protected cultural heritage site in Croatia, remains in a poor state and is still awaiting restoration. Thanks to previous investments, however, further deterioration of the building has been halted.
The city of Knin has previously submitted the Lovrić House for grants from the Ministry of Culture and Media, which funded conservation and construction works to prevent further decline of the building. The building is in private ownership, and the law stipulates that it cannot be sold for five years following the completion of the last restoration project.
The city of Knin intends to purchase and fully restore the Lovrić House, but must wait a further year before doing so. This was stated by the mayor, Marijo Ćačić, in a programme on Radio Knin.
The scaffolding, which is no longer needed, will be removed and relocated to another site in the near future. The renovation of other buildings in the old town is also planned as part of the energy renovation programme managed by the Ministry of Spatial Planning, Construction and State Property.
Work has already begun on the multi-storey building opposite the St Anthony’s monastery. The building adjacent to the current Employment Institute, which is owned by the Republic of Croatia, is also on the list for energy renovation. The scaffolding currently protecting passers-by from falling facade debris will remain in place for some time.
