Restoration of Medieval Windows in Church
In addition to the construction of the new machine building opposite the church, Elgaard Architecture was responsible for the renovation of Ølstykke Church’s leaded windows in 2017-2018. In close collaboration with and coordination between highly specialised craftsmen, the leaded windows were carefully cut free of the masonry rebates, dismantled and transported to the workshop, where lead and windows were restored and defective parts replaced by similar materials.

Ølstykke Church was built around the year 1100.
