  • Architectural Analysis and Restoration. The Tower of the Zuiderkerk in Amsterdam
    Pieter Vlaardingerbroek

    In 2017, the restoration of the Zuiderkerk (1603-1614) was completed with the renovation of its tower.

    Marie-Thérèse van Thoor

    Lenneke Willemstein

    In the former fortress town of Naarden, the exterior woodwork of the military buildings from both the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries is still painted in a dark shade of green known as ‘monumentengroen’. The colour plays an important role in the buildings’ appearance. The owner of the fortifications, Stichting Monumenten Bezit (SMB), had doubts about the historical authenticity of this colour because previous colour research had revealed the presence of a lighter shade of green beneath the dark Monumentengroen. Accordingly, in 2018, in advance of a scheduled refurbishment of the...
