🏢 About the local organisation
We offer you a collective and intercultural adventure in Alsace! Do you want to be part of it?
On the programme: a workcamp useful to the rural community, technical training, exchanges with local habitants, animation with young people from Alsace, co-prepared meals, the discovery of the Vosges of Alsace... And everything else we will build together!
The work will involve consolidating the wall of the "western curtain wall" of the castle ruin. The association aims to finish this old building site for the celebrations of the 800th anniversary of the castle, in 2025. In parallel, you will also have three days of activities with Solidarités Jeunesses, meeting young people from the area to bring interculturality to life through festive events!
💼 What the programme involves
The work will consist of maintenance work : it aims here to preserve the existing without adding facings or heightening. The "identical" consolidation of this wall began almost fifteen years ago, in conjunction with the French heritage services (Monuments Historiques, DRAC). It will involve :
• Removing and replacing one to three layers of facing, on both the internal and external faces ;
• Extraction of any roots in the facings ;
• Removal of the level, extraction of old blockages over 20cm, purging of old mortar ;
• Creation of a solid «Â ruin-like » rockwork binding the two faces of the facing.
• Prospection of the outer lining to uncover archaeological material.
The motivated team of «Â Les Veilleurs de Salm » will provide the technical supervision for this work.
