Restoration of the historic Franciscan church of St. Andrzeja in Barczew

The project will be carried out in the area of Barczewo commune by pl. Stefan Batory 1A, Olsztyn county, on plot No. 239 within the registration area 003. The subject of the project is the renovation of the Gothic church of St. Andrzej in Barczew and the adjacent eastern wall, which is a fragment of the old defensive walls of the city. The execution of appropriate construction works will also allow to protect the church against fire and theft. The project also plans to create a new tourist offer based on the history of the church and the city strongly associated with, among others, the Batorych family and the adaptation of the crypt and chapel space for museum and exhibition purposes. The technical condition of the church poses a threat to the continued use and use of historical space for exhibition purposes. There is a threat to the closure of the facility by construction supervision. The implementation of the project will be possible by carrying out the work listed in Section VI of the Application, i.e.: 1) Construction works, including: conservation and construction works on facades, roof renovation, presbytery conservation work, chapel conservation work, crypt conservation work; 2) Supervision in the project – contract engineer, 3) Fixed assets, intangible assets – exhibition equipment, mobile app in Android with virtual space; 4) Promotion of the project – plaques; 5) Preparatory work – feasibility study. The project fits in with the foundations of the SzOOP RPO WiM Priority Axis 6 through the preservation, protection, promotion and development of the cultural heritage, which is the historic Church of the Franciscans of St. Andrew the Apostle in Barczew and the eastern wall. Carrying out comprehensive construction and conservation works will prevent progressive degradation and preserve the legacy of future generations with income for the present. A new cultural offer will also be introduced, which will increase the region’s tourist attractiveness.
