The Building and renovation history of Vilnius and Kaunas churches: dendrochronological dating and historical sources
2017
Overview
We present the application of Dendrochronological dating of the renovation and construction works of churches in the Kaunas and Vilnius regions of Lithuania. The model for the estimation of the missing rings of Scots pine was used in Lithuania for the first time. We have assessed 18 timber cross-sections from nine churches, which were used for the constructions from the second half of the 17th to 19th c. The oldest wood samples were dated from St. Michael’s Church in Vilnius (1668±4) and St. George, the Martyr, (Bernardine) Church in Kaunas (1693±3). The aim of this study was to compare the results of the investigation of timber samples from 9 churches with archival sources and literature data and to reveal the renovation history of the buildings. The study of written historical sources has revealed a lack of recorded building and reconstruction phases of the churches. This fact was later confirmed by the results of dendrochronological dating. The dating of the timber revealed undocumented reconstruction dates in Zapyškis church (1791±3), St. George, the Martyr, (Bernardine) Church in Kaunas (1711±4), St. Anne Church in Skaruliai (1693±3) and Vilnius Cathedral (1814±4).
Straipsnyje pristatomi Kauno ir Vilniaus regiono bažnyčių medienos dendrochronologijos datavimo rezultatai. Pirmą kartą Lietuvoje panaudotas naujai sukurtas trūkstamų paprastosios pušies balanos rievių rekonstrukcijos metodas. Tyrimui naudojome 18 medienos nuopjovų iš devynių bažnyčių. Datavimo rezultatai parodė, kad medienos konstrukcijos buvo naudojamos nuo XVII a. antrosios pusės iki XIX a. Seniausia datuota mediena iš Šv. Mykolo bažnyčios Vilniuje (1668±4) ir Šv. Jurgio Kankinio (bernardinų) bažnyčios Kaune (1693±3). Šio straipsnio tikslas – palyginti medienos pavyzdžių iš devynių bažnyčių tyrimo rezultatus su archyvinių šaltinių ir literatūros duomenimis bei atskleisti pastatų remontų istoriją. Istorinių šaltinių ir literatūros analizė parodė informacijos stygių apie kai kurių bažnyčių statybos ir rekonstrukcijos laikotarpius. Šį faktą patvirtino dendrochronologijos datavimo duomenys. Medienos datavimo rezultatai atskleidė iki šiol nežinomas rekonstrukcijos ir remonto datas Zapyškio bažnyčioje (1791±3), Šv. Jurgio bažnyčioje Kaune (1711±4), Šv. Onos bažnyčioje Skaruliuose (1693±3) ir Vilniaus katedroje (1814±4).
