Actually, we went with triple glazing (and also had it subsidized). But we also have about 3-4 cm external insulation + facing brick. So no problem.
Without insulation, I would have gone with double glazing.

What you could do to find out more precisely: investigate the wall structure from the building documents and research the U-value. Pure stone (without special filling etc.) has a relatively poor U-value... even if the wall is quite thick...

There may also be the criterion of aesthetics. Let's say they are mahogany windows. Clean them and treat them with varnish oil and a bit of [Interstain] in a reddish tone, what a visual dream. And all that for less money than [Plaste] and [Elaste] new, no question what I would do. To hell with that little bit of extra insulation.

That's nonsense to argue like that. Sorry. Proper ventilation and heating are the be-all and end-all for a mold-free place. If a component is cold, the humidity can condense there. It doesn't pick out the window specifically. So if you don't ventilate and heat, mold will grow everywhere.

At least we agree on the second part ;-) Heating and ventilating are a must!
