The collection of articles compiled by Anneli Randla is dedicated to the 70th birthday of Kaur Alttoa, a luminary of medieval architecture, restoration expert and heritage conservationist. All authors have been directly or indirectly students of Alttoa.
Eleven articles, whose topics cover different eras and fields, relate to Alttoa’s own research interests. Whether they are the fortresses of South Estonia, the churches of Saaremaa or the old town of Valga, in addition to the Middle Ages, there is also the art of the 17th century or quite new architecture in a historical environment. At the end of the book is Kaur Alttoa’s bibliography as of July 1, 2017.
