As part of the analysis for the restoration of the roofs of Roosenberg Abbey in Waasmunster, a destructive investigation was carried out. The purpose of this investigation was to gain a thorough understanding of the roof build-up and to identify the causes of the observed defects. By opening specific sections of the roof, the different layers, materials used, their condition, and the connections between them could be carefully examined.

The results of this investigation form a crucial basis for determining appropriate remedial measures, aimed at providing a sustainable solution to the roofing issues and preserving the valuable heritage of the abbey.
