MŰHELY - Summaries

The room and the chapter house beneath it used to form an independent, tower-like part of the mediaeval convent building and is dating from the 14th century. It was accessible via a wooden gallery on the north. Its small, pointed windows have been reconstructed. Remains of 17th century wall-paintings with a scene of the Calvary and some ornamental details were discovered on the walls of the room. Fragments on the south wall, dating from the time of the Turkish supremacy are of special interest. The mediaeval building is incorporated in a newer wing, built between 1690 and the middle of the 18th century. Péter KLANICZAY: A mediaeval cellar at lue restored and opened to the public Monument protection and rehabilitation at Vác has not, so far, paid sufficient attention to mediaeval monuments, unfortunatly. The present writing discusses the joint effort of the inspector of conservation and the archeologists of the local museum made to save a mediaeval cellar. In 1986 a construction was started on the site in question. As there had been no preliminary archeological examination carried out the original plans had to be altered as a consequence of mediaeval remnants coming to light during the building process. The final achievment, however, has proved those specialists who stood up for the case. The restoration of the barrel-vaulted cellar, dating from the 15th century and now incorporated in a modern building was finished in 1991 and is now housing an exhibition of mediaeval architectural fragments. Juan CABELLO - Csaba LÁSZLÓ: Archeological excavations in the mediaeval settlement of Budafelhévíz The excavation discussed here (Budapest, II. Tölgyfa street 28.) is located on a territory that belonged to the mediaeval Budafelhévíz. On one side of the site in question a Roman construction was defined. Its oudine is curved in a NE-SW-SE pattern, the walls were built of large lime blocks and it was covered by a flat barrel vault. The edifice served, presumably, as a utility tunnel. Above this tunnel research decovered a conglomerate of pit-houses built over eachother, an evidence of a settlement existing here from the Árpád-period to the late Middle-Ages. In the western part of the site a 13th century building was excavated, built of stone, later extended by a covered corridor in the front. The setdement became extinct in the middle of the 16th century; traces of building activity after that time indicate already the 18th century. Piroska VÁCZI: Where did the former Fehérhajó Restaurant stand? The author discusses the exact location of the old Fehérhajó Restaurant in Pest. Her conclusion is that contrary to the indication of the present memorial at N° 5 Fehérhajó Street the restaurant could never stand on that site since the building is a project of Ferenc Kasselik, dating from 1844 and commissioned by János Neuhoffer.
