The construction of Riga Dome Cathedral and its Capithullum hall were initiated in
1211. Through centuries they were damaged a lot due to migration of soluble salts and
moisture. During the last restoration (1888-1891) a lot of mistakes were conceded and
subsequently some of probable solutions for restoration were unsuccessful. In 2009 the new
restoration stage in Capithullum hall was started. Two types of desalination methods were used
in hall – desalination with lime-sand plaster and poultice of lignin. Both quantitative and
semiquantitative chemical analyses were performed in order to appreciate the desalination
process.
