Restoring Ptuj with Creativity and Passion

Toni Hamler believes that preserving Ptuj’s architectural heritage requires collaboration between generations. By working with young artists and restoration experts, he helps revive the city’s historic facades, metalwork, and frescoes.

This initiative, supported by European cultural funds, highlights the importance of hands-on education in traditional decorative arts. Through guided workshops, students learn the intricacies of restoration, ensuring that these skills are passed down.

Hamler’s work bridges the past and the future, creating a cityscape that honors history while embracing artistic innovation.

“Cultural heritage belongs to all generations—we must preserve it together.”
