ASSOCIATION OF CASTLE OWNERS

The Czech Republic is a country blessed with a plethora of cultural heritage sites. We, the members of the Association of Owners of Castles and Manor Houses, are utilizing our utmost efforts to participate in the preservation and restoration of these sites.

From our personal experience, we are well aware that it is necessary to repair virtually everything simultaneously and without delay, in order to preserve these priceless cultural heritage sites, after having our beautiful castles and manor houses been allowed to deteriorate for forty years. We consider our activities to be both a cumbersome responsibility and an honour.

GOALS OF THE ASSOCIATION OF CASTLE OWNERS

The primary goal of the Association of Castle Owners is to preserve private castles, country houses, gardens and other privately-owned historic monuments in the Czech Republic. The Association’s aim is to achieve this by the following activities and initiatives.

• assuring a common approach of the Association’s members vis-à-vis state and international bodies at all levels;
• serving as a forum for members to exchange experiences in the preservation, repair and maintenance of castles, country houses, gardens and other privately-owned historic monuments, as well as in dealings with state and international bodies at all levels;
• obtaining financial assistance from state and international bodies for the preservation, repair and maintenance of castles, country houses, gardens and other privately-owned historic monuments;
• actively co-operating with various organisations, in particular those whose fields of interest are heritage, culture, architecture and history;
• actively co-operating with foreign and international organisations with similar aims.
