Rõuge St. Mary’s Church 

RÕUGE, ESTONIA / HISTORIC CHURCH RESTORATION

Dating from the 1730s, Rõuge St. Mary’s Church represents a significant example of historic ecclesiastical architecture in South-Estonia. The recent facade restoration employed NHL (Natural Hydraulic Lime) lime plaster and white lime paint — traditional mineral-based systems specified for heritage conservation. The intervention prioritizes material compatibility with the original masonry substrate while meeting contemporary performance standards for moisture regulation and breathability in historic building envelopes.
