In this work, samples of mortars and paint compositions were studied, selected from the facades and internal walls of the fortress church in the village of Murovanka, Grodno region. The purpose of the study was to study the characteristics of the initial plaster solutions, to determine the initial paint compositions and to develop methodological recommendations for carrying out repair and restoration work. The object was examined properly, authentic building solutions and paint compositions were determined. Painting works both in the early and later times were carried out with mineral-based compositions. Initially, the building was plastered with lime-sand solutions and painted with mineral compounds. All materials used to repair the facade must be compatible with the stored materials according to their physical and mechanical characteristics.
