Preservation at Bran Castle is multidisciplinary: structural engineers, conservators, and curators coordinate to maintain the fabric and the collections. Visitors play a part by adhering to rules that minimize wear.

Conservation priorities

  • Structural stability: masonry repointing and timber consolidation.
  • Environmental control: monitoring humidity and light exposure for textiles.
  • Artifact conservation: cleaning and stabilizing furniture and clothing.

How visitors can help

  • Avoid touching exhibits and follow restricted-access signage.
  • Be mindful of photography restrictions designed to protect delicate pigments and textiles.
