Abstract

The building in Aszófő occupies a special place among the medieval ruin churches near Lake Balaton. Monument protection authorities tackled the issue of protecting the ruins in the 1930s, and since then, several archaeological and monument-protection-related projects (the latter including documentation and restoration works) have taken place. Roman artefacts unearthed during a previous excavation have revealed quite early on that the history of the remains goes beyond the Árpád Age. Recently, the preservation of the building became timely again; the works were preceded by a geophysical survey, detailed architectural documentation, and archaeological research. The conservation of the ruins took place within the ‘Rom Vándor Program’ [ca. ‘Ruin Explorer Programme’] by Market Építő cPLC.
