Abstract

The Yakhyeon catholic church (Historic Site No. 252 in Korea) that was constructed in 1892 has been the first western brick structure to ever have existed and one of the most important historical materials in the Korean modern architecture. After a fire had broken out at the catholic church in 1998, the stained glass on the back wall, the slab glass (dalle de verre) introduced by Lee Nam Guy in 1974, was repaired in 1999 because of singe scorch and water leakage. An analysis of the coloration elements showed that yellow, red and green included Zn, K and Cd, respectively. The glass of red contained Se, dark green contained Mn and Cr, and blue contained Pb and S. According to material analysis, the masonry joint was identified dolomite ($CaMg(CO_3)_2$) and calcite ($CaCO_3$), which was observed plate, columnar, rhombic and square of crystalline particles. Meanwhile, ultrasonic velocity in the stained glass recorded low speed in the middle and lower right of the window (an average of 4,130 m/s). And the joint was measured the lowest physical properties of the top left and middle of the window (an average of 2,053 m/s). This study have showed that extensive physical damage was founded to the left and middle rather than the right side. In this respect, more research in needed to conserve the correlation between color and physical properties.

약현성당(사적 제252호)은 1892년에 건립된 현존하는 최초의 서양식 벽돌조 건축물로 한국 근대건축사에 매우 중요한 사료이다. 성당의 제대 후벽에 있는 스테인드글라스는 1974년 처음으로 도입된 이남규의 슬랩글라스(달드베르)로서 1998년 화재로 그을림 및 누수현상이 나타나자 다음해 보수된 바 있다. 색유리의 발색원소 분석 결과, 황색, 적색 및 연두색은 아연(Zn), 칼륨(K), 카드뮴(Cd)으로 확인되었고 셀레늄(Se)이 적색 착색제로 사용되었다. 또한 진녹색 계열의 발색성분은 망간(Mn)과 크롬(Cr), 청색계열은 납(Pb)과 황(S)이 검출되었다. 사이 줄눈의 재료학적 분석결과, 돌로마이트($CaMg(CO_3)_2$)와 방해석($CaCO_3$)으로 동정되었고 판상, 능면상, 주상, 방형 등의 결정질 입자가 확인되었다. 한편 초음파 속도는 스테인드글라스에서 평균 4,130 m/s를 보이며 중앙창 십자가와 우창 하단부에서 저속도대가 나타났으며, 줄눈은 평균 2,053 m/s의 속도범위에서 좌창 상부와 중앙창 가운데에서 가장 낮은 물성을 보였다. 약현성당의 색유리와 사이 줄눈은 육안관찰시 우창에서 집중적인 표면풍화가 나타나는 것과는 달리 물성진단을 통해 좌창 및 중앙창을 중심으로 상당한 물리적 손상이 확인되었다. 앞으로 유리의 조성과 물성의 상관관계에 대한 연구를 통해 꾸준히 보존관리가 필요하다.
