The article deals with the renovation of the upper courtyard of Ľupča Castle in Slovenská Ľupča. From the constructional point of view, this renovation seemed to entail only a simple intention of paving the courtyard. The plan was supported by thorough previous preparation in the form of research and construction projects. The implementation of the renovation project, however, required additional cultural heritage research which gradually revealed information having a major impact on the conservation outcome. Several stages of modifications have been found, from the medieval mortar-stone filling of the castle rock's unevenness (Fig. 7), through the Renaissance pebble paving (Fig. 8) and the clay floor (Fig. 9) to the Baroque brick paving (Fig. 10). The individual levels of the preserved finds and the surrounding preserved building structures did not allow the initially planned presentation of the courtyard in the expression of a stylistically pure Baroque stage with new paving, which due to its technical composition should have solved the problem of waterproofing. In combination with technical problems, it was necessary to gradually reassess the previously approved renovation plan and, from a methodological point of view, to combine the analytical presentation of several findings with some neoplasms in places where the finding situations were destroyed or individual findings were incompatible with each other.
