In this period, the reconstruction works continued on the facades of objects on the Yard of Honour and on other courtyard facades as well.
Inside of the palace, works on the walls’ and ceiling surfaces proceeded, so as restoration works could thereafter start in Knights hall on the ground floor together with plastering works on third and fourth floor. Reconstruction works on the other floors of the Castle palace were in this period mainly focused on the installation of soffits, assembling of central heating distribution lines and preparation on the launch of heating equipment during the upcoming winter season. Simultaneously, ongoing works on the North Terrace were focused on the foundations of the future object of Orangery. In the location of the archaeological surveys the winter protection proceedings have been adopted too.
