Koldinghus - Inger and Johannes Exner

Architectuur over grote houten gebouwen bouwen

This describes the work of the Danish architects Inger and Johannes Exner, and especially their work with Koldinghus. As well as being a portrait of an architect couple, it is the story of the history and restoration of a controversial piece of architecture.

Buildings are like human beings. They are born and develop; they become ill and are cured; they grow old, waste away and die. They show the influence of events, people and adversities. They change from the freshness of youth through maturity, sometimes attaining beauty in their old age. Thus their identity is not only the one that was given to them at birth by the architects and artists who created them; it also reflects all the changes, additions and influences that they have experienced during their life. If that life has been historically eventful, it is a serious matter to remove or obliterate the impressions the building has received in order to restore it to its appearance at birth or to stop the historical process in any way. As we know, one of the ideological difficulties of the profession of restoration is to handle this problem in the right way, and to do it properly in each different case.

The old royal castle of Koldinghus is an example of a building which has lived an active, eventful life. It has changed several times during its history, from Gothic, through Renaissance and Baroque, until a fire in 1808 reduced it to a ruin. Some preservation and maintenance was undertaken during its long years as a ruin, but it is only recently that actual rebuilding has been started; and since this rebuilding has caused considerable debate, it is presented in this article as a contribution to the ceaseless discussion about the treatment of old buildings.
