3D terrestrial laser scanning is a non-invasive method for capturing data of building objects. A point cloud obtained through measurement provides the basis for assessing the building’s architecture and its finish details, analysing its technical condition and reproducing its construction system. Digitalised data can be used to describe the object’s geometry and to analyse its damage and defects. The paper describes, using examples, methods for examining the geometry of the historic building, whose structural condition has also been assessed.
