WMF supported the conservation of Piatra Neamt, which had been deteriorating for many years. A water collection system was installed on the roof, including new gutters and pipes to ensure effective water drainage. For the wooden structure, problems associated with water damage were addressed and interior paintings and decorated surfaces were cleaned and restored. To evaluate the condition of the foundations, the area immediately surrounding the building was excavated. Following the consolidation of the timber frame, the altar was returned to its original location. Since the interior is used to exhibit objects owned by the synagogue, space management was an integral part of the project, ensuring the proper display of collections. The women’s gallery and balcony, which were previously used for storage, were restored, allowing them to be utilized once again by the congregation. The final part of the project involved maintenance plans for the building and improvement of air circulation, ventilation and natural lighting. This project was completed in 2009, with a ceremony celebrating the completion of work in December of that year.
