On the occasion of the International Day of Monuments and Sites, marked this year under the theme “Heritage under Threat from Disasters and Conflicts”, the Vilnius Old Town Renewal Agency, in collaboration with the Belarusian-Jewish Cultural Heritage Center, ICOMOS Belarus, and the European Humanities University, organised a public event dedicated to resilience and preservation strategies for heritage across the historic lands of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
The event, held in Vilnius on April 17, featured the presentation of the VR reconstruction of the 18th-century Wolpa Synagogue - a significant example of regional wooden synagogue architecture - and a discussion of the challenges in preserving heritage in this culturally rich but politically and historically complex region.
