Summary/Abstract: The church from Gherdeal, Sibiu County, faces an exceptional acceleration of degradations due to some inadequate interventions of roof changing, the whole structure being covered with inappropriate materials. Its condition worsens from one season to another, requiring emergency interventions to stop one of the major degradation factors of historical monuments – rainwater infiltrations. Recent interventions took place with help from specialists and volunteers for the restoration of the tile roof, for the study and preventive/active conservation interventions of the mobile heritage, for the sanitization of the interior and the surrounding vegetation of the church.
