Résumé (en anglais)

Our world comprises material „phenomena“ and feelings invoked by places, spaces, works of art... Banská _tiavnica developed in a complex environment since 12th century including its urban spaces and houses, which we conserve. But there also is the genius loci that we sometimes fail to restore. Why? The town attracts settlers, not anymore because of golden-silver mines. People seek its spirit. What is it? The energy of our ancestors, authenticity…? The spirit usually vanishes with the use of modern materials and replicas. To counteract that we organise workshops in traditional methods, but question is what keeps original architecture alive and whether we can make new purpose and keep the original genius? Can we succeed? We are currently finding revival of the endangered unique Baroque Calvary Complex – the place filled with energy, inhabited by spirit… Will our activities diminish or reinforce the genius that makes our historical town so unique?
