Mould develops when churches stand empty and unused: Custos Mucoris - The Mould Guardian

Mould develops when churches are left unused





"Climate change, which is partly caused by humans, will significantly increase the development of mould by the end of the century and thus the threat to the interiors of churches and other historically valuable cultural assets" /Leissner, J. and Fuhrmann, C. (2018) / 

Constant monitoring for mould helps to prevent permanent damage. A "mould camera" (Custos Mucoris = guardian of mould) is now available for this purpose, which uses artificial intelligence to automatically report the formation of mould.

Areas of application for the mould camera

  • Churches that are rarely used but need to be monitored for mould damage 
  • when staff shortages do not allow monitoring for mould
  • in areas in churches and other monuments where access for monitoring is difficult or impossible, such as under choir stalls, in organs, behind altars, in shrines, crypts, cellars and cupboards
  • in storage areas for cultural artefacts
  • in empty rooms (including flats)
  • for monitoring areas that have just been cleared of mould


Cost of the mould camera

For only 100 €/month plus VAT you are free of worries.

Can be cancelled monthly at any time.

Unsere neue Webseite ist fertig: Schimmel und Kondensat in historischen Gebäuden Schadenvorbeugung, Schadenerkennung und Schadenkontrolle

Das Klima ändert sich in den nächsten Jahren deutlich. Lufttemperatur und relative Feuchte fuehren zunehmend zu Schimmel und Kondensat. Der durch Menschen mitverursachte Klimawandel wird bis zum Ende des Jahrhunderts nicht nur die mittlere Lufttemperatur erhoehen, sondern auch zu einem erheblichen Anstieg der relativen Luftfeuchte fuehren. Dies bedeutet unmittelbar eine Bedrohung der Innenausstattungen von Kirchen und anderen historisch wertvollen Kulturguetern. Feuchte Luft in Kontakt zu kalten Objekten fuehrt zu Kondensation von in der Luft geloestem Wasserdampf. In Kirchen und anderen historischen Gebäuden speichern die massiven Wände die Kälte des Winters und der Nacht. Im Sommer, wenn warme feuchte Luft durch falsche Lueftung ins Innere der Gebäude gelangt, kann dies sogar zu Nebel und/oder Schwitzwasser fuehren. In vielen Fällen ist dies die Ursache von Schäden z.B. an historischen Glasfenstern, an Altären, Orgeln, Gemälden, Schreinen, Teppichen und sonstigen Objekten. Das Risiko...

How can cultural heritage be managed in times of climate change? Conference Bamberg, Germany, Date: February 27th/28th 2023

Long-term measurements of climate in the dome of Xanten and measurements on historic surfaces to predict damage risks on historical windows and mould risk on several historic altars in Xanten Johannes Schubert et.al. (cathedral builder Xanten), Rolf Becker (university Rhein-Waal)  and Hans Daams The current and future assessment of the indoor climate in Xanten cathedral and their effect on damages   of historical furnishings requires an extensive measurement strategy throughout the cathedral and on respective objects inside the cathedral. In cooperation with the university of Rhein-Waal this has been done now for more than three years.  This paper is focusing on in-situ measurements of historical surfaces. The valuable stained glass from the Middle Ages and the historical Petrus Altar are selected as examples of measurements and risk assessment. The impact of climate and sun on the protective glazing was measured for a period of 3 years. Data were collected for te...
