In 1995 and again in 1998, we found the Tyn Church closed for repairs. Talking to workers on the exterior they said they had no idea when it would be opened.
We took the splendid 30 minute walk from the No 8 tram line up to the Star Summer Palace in May 1998 and found it closed. A lady leaving through the Palace gate and locking it behind her told us it closed about one year ago and has at least another year to go before renovations were completed.
