Re: "the Hermitage will be restored and built back up to the free-standing memorable structure it once was."

I have fond memories of class trips to the Hermitage when safety and liability issues weren't paramount. I'm curious, though: Is the intention to return to the remains of the original stone walls and stabilize that, to build a structurally sound replica ruin that is largely made up of elements of the original but restores details (eg. the double windows in the centre of the second floor of the front facade along with arched windows on either side) and the outbuildings, or to reconstruct the Hermitage completely based on historic records?
