2016 Salzbourg, Autriche

Les 3 et 4 juin, Salzbourg a accueilli la 15ᵉ édition du Festival européen de la pierre (EU Stone Festival). 125 participants venus de 16 nations ont créé des œuvres en pierre sur la Kapitelplatz, sous le thème « Du roman à l’époque moderne ». Outre l’art de la pierre international, le festival proposait de la musique live, une rencontre matinale traditionnelle avec nourriture et boissons (Frühschoppen), ainsi qu’une présentation de la HTL Hallein pour la technologie et le design de la pierre.

Du roman à l’époque moderne – l’art de la taille de pierre à travers l’Europe à Salzbourg

On June 3 and 4, Salzburg hosted the 15th edition of the EU Stone Festival. With 125 participants from 16 nations, the festival was excellently represented on an international level. Each participant was provided with a stone measuring 20 × 30 × 30 centimeters, and the theme “From Romanesque to Modern Times” deliberately allowed broad scope for interpretation.

The Provincial Guild of Stonemasons and Master Stonemasons, represented by Adolf Moser, organized the Stone Festival in Salzburg for the second time. Despite the large number of events that take place in Salzburg during the summer season, the organizers succeeded in securing a prime location at Kapitelplatz.

A live band ensured a great atmosphere on Saturday evening, while Sunday at the Stone Festival began with a traditional Frühschoppen starting at 12:30 p.m. As part of the festival, the HTL Hallein technical school for stone technology and stone design also presented itself in front of the Kapitel Fountain.
