With regard to the previous article about 3D reconstruction of destroyed or decayed historical buildings, there is unfortunately a recent case where such an application is necessary after all what is left of a historical fortress church tower is only debris:

On February 19 the tower of the Transylvanian Saxon church in Rothbach (rom. Rotbav), built in 1738, collapsed entirely. Rothbach is not an isolated case – other churches are also showing very visible signs of imminent ruin, as are other buildings of minorities in Romania – but just the final stage of decay which awaits almost an entire cultural landscape due to an overburdened state and community.
