Restoration of the Hadjipanteli House and Limnia windmill completed

Conservation and restoration works have been completed on the historic Hadjipanteli House and a windmill in the village of Limnia, Famagusta district. The Hadjipanteli House, declared an ancient monument in 1971, dates back to the late 18th century and is noted for its incorporation of architectural elements from the ancient site of Salamis and medieval ruins. Restoration efforts included the stabilization of stonework, roofing, flooring, and the preservation of original decorative carvings. The windmill, a local landmark, also underwent preservation to ensure its longevity. Both projects were funded by the European Union and implemented under the technical guidance of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The Bicommunal Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage oversaw the works to promote the preservation of common cultural heritage. The house is expected to be utilized for cultural activities after the project's responsibility period ends in 2027, with an event planned for this September. While the site is currently inhabited by Turkish Cypriots, the village was historically Greek Cypriot until 1974.
