dc.description.abstract-translated	The Durbar square of Patan, together with its temples and the Royal Palace is one of seven monument zones that are part of the Kathmandu Valley World Heritage Property. The ongoing project of the conservation of facades and courtyards of the palace had already been in operation for a considerable time as the team of conservators from the Institute of Conservation of the University of Applied Art Vienna arrived for the first time in 2010.Three working campaigns were organized after this initial visit. Two stone portals, four stone lions, two fire gilded deities and a doorway, one stone pavilion base and a ritual bath are the combined total conservation output of these campaigns. The cooperation of the senior conservators (staff) and students of the institute with architects from the KVPT (Kathmandu Valley Preservation Trust) and local craftsmen was and is very productive. The exchange of knowledge is an integrative part of the practical work on the conservation site. This is very important, since our team can only be present for a limited time, mostly through the summer months. Treatment processes are often started together, all the necessary varying steps are shown and practiced and after our team leaves, the locals finish the treatment. At the beginning of the next campaign, the results of the previous one are evaluated and, if necessary, corrections are made. In this way, both the objects, as well as the Nepalese colleagues profit from our stay. In return, we can learn a lot about the crafts and architecture of Nepal. This information helps us understand the production and the condition of the treated monuments. Not only do the manufacturing techniques differ from those that we are used to dealing with, but also the availability of tools and materials for the treatment processes is more restricted than in Austria. The differing climate results in different weathering; this completes the picture and makes this project as interesting as it is demanding.	eng
