Saving the Damaged Chestnut Tree Mural in HorwRestoration of the 33-year-old mural costs 100,000 CHF and is planned to finish by the end of August 2025.
- The mural depicting the legend of the chestnut trees in Horw has suffered significant moisture damage.
- Restoration work includes replacing damaged wooden panels and carefully retouching the painting across its 50 square meters.
- The 100,000 CHF cost is largely due to specialized carpentry and art restoration efforts.
- Funding is only partially secured, prompting a fundraising campaign to cover remaining expenses before completion in August.
The restoration is indeed labor-intensive.— Christian Volken, media spokesperson for the municipality of Horw, describes the challenges of restoring the mural.
