When we think of legacy, we often picture a personal mark left on the world — a story that continues long after we are gone. At the Czech National Trust, we believe there is no greater legacy than preserving the soul of our nation: its heritage, architecture, and landscapes.

Across the Czech Republic, there are still a number of historic homes, castles, gardens, landscapes and monuments quietly slipping into decline. These are not just random places — they are the keepers of our collective memory. Without dedicated restoration and protection, many will be lost. But with the help of thoughtful gifts in wills, we can safeguard them for generations to come.

For those living abroad, a legacy gift is also a powerful way to stay connected to the land of your ancestors — a gesture of love and loyalty to the country that shaped your roots. It’s a way of saying our birthplace is still part of us, no matter where life has taken you.

Leaving a legacy to the Czech National Trust isn’t about grand gestures — it’s about believing that our shared history matters. It’s about ensuring that future generations can walk the same cobbled streets, admire the same hand-painted ceilings, and feel the same sense of belonging to something deeply rooted and beautiful.

Your legacy will contribute to restoring a crumbling chateau, revive a forgotten garden, or open a historic site to the public for the very first time.Every Crown left in this way makes a difference.

This is more than charity — this is stewardship of something invaluable and irreplaceable.
And it starts with the simple act of including the Czech National Trust in your will.

Make heritage part of your legacy. Please consider the Czech National Trust as a worthy guardian of something precious we share with the past and future generations, and make Czech national heritage safe for centuries to come.
