Open Gardens Weekend
As part of the nationwide Open Gardens Weekend, which took place on June 6th and 7th, 2020, the CNT invited visitors to the Gardens of the Kroměříž Chateau, a UNESCO site, which is managed by Martin Krčma, our friend and the chairman of the CNT Supervisory Board.
The Czech National Trust supports the event every year, not only because we have our official headquarters in Kroměříž, but also because we helped restore the Chinese Pavillion in the Chateau Garden as one of our projects and because our pilot project site is very close to Kroměříž.
Irena Edwards speaks at virtual international conference celebrating the World Heritage Day
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!
– The CNT Team

The castle in Rožmitál bustles with life
Quite a few things have changed at the Rožmitál castle. And the changes have been surprisingly positive. Find out and take a look at how the castle is coming alive.
The Diamant passage is looking up
If you would have taken a stroll through the Spalena street in Prague lately, you could’ve noticed that the passage way between the cubist Diamant building and the Holy Trinity Church has changed. If you haven’t, you can visit the site at least virtually by reading more and looking at some pictures here.
