Abstract

The Christian Museum of Gongju Jeil Church was first built in 1931 and was largely damaged during the Korean War, but the walls and chimneys have been preserved. This building has a high architectural values in that the chapel was reconstructed in 1956, and maintains its original form through repair of damaged parts rather than new construction. The stained glass windows were as installed in 1979 and has a great significance in the Dalle de Verre method using lump glass. However, some of the stained glass damaged partially, such as various cracks and splits, and vertical and horizontal cracks in the joint fillers of supporting the colored glass. As the structural materials of the stained glass window, an iron frame and cement mortar filled with it were used, and corrosion of iron, cracking of mortar and granular decomposition appear partially due to weathering. In the joint fillers, the content of Ca and S is very high, indicating that gypsum were used as admixtures, and the gypsums grow in a rhombohedral and forms a bundle, which is investigated to have undergone recrystallization. As a result of modeling the ultrasonic velocity at the joint fillers, the left and right windows at the entrance show relatively weak in the range of 800 to 1,600m/s, and the lower right corner of the altar window and the upper left corner of the center window were also 1,000 to 1,800m/s, showing relatively low physical properties. And gypsums produced during the neutralization of lime mortar were detected in the joint fillers and contaminants on the surface. Such salts may cause damage to the joint material due to freezing and thawing, so appropriate preventive conservation is required. Also, since various damage types are complexly appearing in stained glass window and joint filler, customized conservation treatment should be reviewed through clinical tests.

공주제일교회 기독교박물관은 1931년에 초축되었으며 한국전쟁으로 상당 부분 파손되었으나 벽체와 굴뚝 등이 보존되었다. 이 건물은 1956년 예배당을 재건하며 신축이 아닌 파손된 부분의 보수를 통해 원형을 유지하고 있다는 점에서 건축학적으로 높은 가치가 있다. 스테인드글라스는 1979년에 설치하였으며, 덩어리유리를 사용하는 달드베르(Dalle de Verre) 방식으로 큰 의미가 있다. 그러나 일부 스테인드글라스에서는 다양한 균열과 쪼개짐이 나타나고 색유리를 지지하는 줄눈에는 수직 및 수평균열이 확인되는 등 부분적인 손상을 입었다. 스테인드글라스의 구조재로는 철제 틀과 이를 충전한 시멘트 모르타르가 사용되었으며, 부분적으로 풍화작용에 따라 철제의 부식과 모르타르의 균열 및 입상분해가 나타난다. 줄눈재에서는 Ca과 S의 함량이 높아 석고를 혼화재로 사용하였음을 지시하며, 석고는 능형으로 성장하며 다발모양을 이루고 있는 것으로 보아 재결정작용을 거친 것으로 판단된다. 줄눈재의 초음파속도 모델링 결과, 입구 좌우창의 속도는 800~1,600㎧ 범위로 상대적으로 취약하며, 제단의 좌창 우측 하단과 중앙창 좌측 상단도 1,000~1,800㎧로 나타나 상대적으로 낮은 물성을 보였다. 또한 줄눈재와 표면오염물에서는 석회 모르타르의 중성화에서 생성되는 석고화합물이 검출되었다. 이와 같은 염류는 동결 및 융해작용에 따라 줄눈재의 손상을 일으킬 수 있어 적절한 예방보존이 필요하다. 스테인드글라스와 줄눈재에는 다양한 손상유형이 복합적으로 나타나고 있어 임상실험을 통해 맞춤형 보존처리를 검토해야 할 것이다.
