This study focuses on collecting data on non-existent architectural heritage and transforming it into structured input for AI visualization, based on the case study of the Chapel of Saint Petka in Brestač, which was demolished after the Second World War and the early communist period. Archival documents, cartographic sources, and interviews with witnesses were combined to create digital input suitable for virtual reconstruction. AI-supported virtual reconstruction enables precise visualization, preservation of cultural identity, and the creation of a permanent digital record, providing methodological insights for future research and heritage conservation.
