Restoration and conservation works have been completed at the historic Hadjipantelis house and a traditional windmill in Limnia village in the Famagusta district in the north, according to the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage.
Sotos Ktoris, co-chair of the bicommunal committee, said the Hadjipantelis house is a notable example of traditional Cypriot architecture and has been listed as an ancient monument since 1971.
In a social media post, Ktoris said the building was constructed in successive phases, with the earliest section dating to the late 18th century. He noted that the house contains architectural fragments and stone reliefs believed to have originated from the nearby archaeological site of Salamis as well as from medieval structures, alongside traditional decorative stonework.
The conservation project included restoration of the masonry, roof and brick-built features, preservation of historic stone reliefs, repair of wooden elements and floors, and landscaping of the courtyard and surrounding enclosure.
Ktoris also announced the completion of conservation works at the Limnia windmill, describing it as an important reminder of rural life in the Mesaoria plain and of how farming communities historically relied on natural forces to sustain their livelihoods.
Both projects were financed by the European Union and implemented with technical support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), he said.
The Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage has overseen dozens of conservation projects across Cyprus aimed at preserving sites of historical and cultural significance on both sides of the island's divide.
