Very special in every detail
Just in time for the 125th anniversary of the death of King Ludwig II on 13 June 2011, the Moorish Kiosk of the Fairytale King has been restored to its former glory.
The mosaic of moon-blown coloured glass, set between two elaborately gilded brass ornamental frames, was disassembled, thoroughly cleaned, consolidated, partially glued and supplemented, straightened and reassembled.
van Treeck's specialists were later commissioned to restore the historic building's curved mosaic windows and preserve them for the future.
A special historic building with special stained glass windows - van Treeck had the honour of restoring them.
