Abstract

This study evaluates the adaptive reuse of the historical Château Gütsch in Lucerne, Switzerland, as a hotel, within the framework of the Lucerne Cantonal Law on the Protection of Cultural Monuments (DSchG), the Swiss Federal Act on the Protection of Nature and Cultural Heritage (NCHA), and international principles by UNESCO and ICOMOS. Using a qualitative research method, relevant legal documents were analyzed and compared with the physical interventions, spatial organization, and safety-comfort standards applied to the building. The findings reveal that façade integrity and spatial layout have been preserved, and modern systems were integrated without damaging the historical character. However, some interior interventions conflict with principles such as authenticity and reversibility, and user-focused elements like accessibility remain partially insufficient. The study highlights the importance of balancing conservation and functionality in the reuse of cultural heritage buildings. Similarly, adaptive reuse practices in Turkey also play a significant role in balancing cultural heritage conservation and contemporary use.

Özet

Bu çalışma, İsviçre’nin Luzern kentinde yer alan tarihi Château Gütsch yapısının otel işlevine dönüştürülme sürecini, Luzern Kantonu Kültür Varlıklarını Koruma Yasası (DSchG), İsviçre Federal Doğa ve Kültürel Mirasın Korunması Yasası (NCHA) ve UNESCO ile ICOMOS’un uluslararası ilkeleri doğrultusunda değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Nitel araştırma yöntemine dayanan çalışmada, belge analizi yoluyla ilgili yasal metinler incelenmiş ve yapıdaki fiziksel müdahaleler, mekânsal kurgular ile konfor ve güvenlik unsurları koruma ilkeleriyle karşılaştırılmıştır. Bulgular, cephe bütünlüğü ve plan organizasyonunun korunduğunu; teknik donatıların tarihî dokuya zarar vermeden entegre edildiğini göstermektedir. Ancak iç mekândaki bazı müdahalelerin özgünlük ve geri dönüşümlü müdahale ilkeleriyle çeliştiği, erişilebilirlik gibi kullanıcı odaklı unsurlarda eksiklikler olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak, çalışma kültürel miras yapılarında işlevsellik ve koruma arasında hassas bir dengenin gerekliliğine dikkat çekmektedir. Ayrıca Türkiye’deki benzer yeniden işlevlendirme örnekleri de kültürel mirasın korunması ve çağdaş kullanıma uyarlanması açısından benzer bir önem taşımaktadır.
