Hello,
we have a conservatory with triple glazing that is heated together with the living area.
Inside, there is an uninsulated stone column, located next to the windows. (The stone column is from the original construction.) I understand that this is not ideal from a thermal perspective, so please do not provide advice regarding that.
Unfortunately, the stone column gets completely wet because it is the coldest spot. What can be done about this besides wiping it down?
Is there any way to prevent the moisture?

Most likely, insulating from the outside is the only option, and then integrating it visually in a sensible way. Either use a trellis in front to hide it, or do the opposite with decorative elements (e.g., rusticated stones) to make it stand out visually, so it looks like it’s meant to be that way.
If it is only damp now, at -10 degrees Celsius (14°F) outside, you will get frost flowers inside. It feels like a 10cm (5 inches) wide area on the inside and 50cm (20 inches) on the outside. How is the small inner area supposed to warm the column? External insulation or rebuild the column with thermopanzer?
