CNT chairman Irena Edwards was one of the speakers at the international virtual conference organised by INTO and the Indonesian National Trust to celebrate the World Heritage Day. CNT participated together with national trusts from the U.S., Australia and the UK. It resulted in many inspiring suggestions for the challenges we are currently facing in the field of heritage conservation as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. We are in it together!

 

Virtual tour of the castle in Rožmitál pod Třemšínem

Dear friends and supporters of the Czech National Trust,

Even in these difficult times we are trying to continue our work as much as we can and we would like to invite you for a virtual tour of the castle in Rožmitál pod Třemšínem. The Czech National Trust has been supporting the reconstruction of the Rožmitál Castle for quite some time now, which also involves a close cooperation with the local volunteering club Rožmitálský zámek z.s.

We hope that the tour will provide you with a pleasant distraction from the difficult situation we are all faced with at the moment. The tour can be found on our Facebook page here.

We are thinking of you and your loved ones and wish you all good health.

We look forward to seeing you in the better times!
