INTBAU Training Centre New Training Programme 2009 INTBAU - Training Centre in Archita Images of the Archita medieval Church

The International Network for Traditional Buildings Architecture & Urbanism, INTBAU, is expanding its extremely successful training programme on traditional restoration from 2009 by establishing a Training Centre in the medieval village of Archita, Transylvania - Romania. The INTBAU Masonry Training Centre will be based at the medieval Evangelical Church of Archita and will offer four intensive courses on lime work, brick work and stonemasonry per year. From 2009 INTBAU will also offer tailor made courses for the private sector.

The Archita medieval church is an outstanding piece of architecture from the XIV century, built initially as a defence fortress against the invaders. The fortified church still has seven of the nine towers it originally had and is surrounded by two defence walls. The participants in the INTBAU masonry courses will have direct access to the medieval church and will be able to do real work in the citadel. The INTBAU courses will be lead by Henry Rumbold, MBE, a renowned British stonemason with over 40 years of experience in traditional restoration.
