The establishing of historical monuments database in the Czech republic


Example: Professional full documentation - the Romanesque church in Rovná
This church is located near Stríbrná Skalice village about 50km far from Prague. A typical Romanesque building (18x10x20m) from the end of 12th century has a baroque tower. The interior is decorated with Romanesque paintings. At present, the building and the paintings are in restoration as a valuable historical monument (a part of expenses is charged by Getty's Institute). Photogrammetric documentation was taken by using UMK and RolleiMetric cameras following by completely digital data processing.
