Résumé en anglais
The strengthening of the foundations of St. John’s Church in TartuEstonia was a measure taken first and foremost to prevent sinking of the edifice
caused by the lowering of the ground water table. It consisted in the first phase of therestoration / renovation project that would span more than a decade, and result in the
building we know today. Other than the technical aspects involved for this project,the paper examines the history of the building and how the work had implications in
the reawakening of the spirit of place for the city of Tartu, and the nation of Estonia.
