Reconstruction and Health Monitoring of Wooden Pavilion “Jeka” (Echo) in the Forest-park Maksimir – Zagreb

The wooden Pavilion “Jeka” (Echo) was built in 1843 according to the plans of the Austrian Empire garden architect Franz Schücht. “Echo” Pavilion is the only remaining one of ten similar pavilions that were placed in the Forest-park Maksimir during the 19th century. Since 1964 the “Echo” Pavilion has been protected by law and declared as cultural monument of garden architecture together with the whole park Maksimir, in which it has been situated. Although the Pavilion was restored several times (last time in 1986) it was in very bad condition. The reconstruction and preservation of the complete pavilion’s wooden construction were done after a careful analysis of its recent state in 2000. During reconstruction, monitoring system for wood moisture content at three different positions inside the roof construction was installed. Twice a year the pavilion is being carefully visually inspected and data from data logger downloaded and correctness of the equipment verified.
