Abstract

During the renovation of the façades of historic buildings in the Baroque old town of Sopron, researchers have recently found traces of vine grey paint on several occasions on stone carvings. One of the earliest oc currences of this colour dates back to the Jesuit reconstruction of St. George Church in 1714. In the following decades, the natural pigment produced by burning vine twigs, mixed with lime, was also used on the Ester házy Palace and several residential buildings in the city centre. This study presents four façade renovations where the original Baroque colouring was restored as a result of the reconstruction process.
