Czech Republic: restoring a Historic Fountain in Kromeriz

The Czech National Trust, in collaboration with the Roman Catholic parish of St Moritz in Kromeriz, is organizing a working holiday from 16 to 23 August 2015.

Participants will be working on the restoration of a stone fountain in the parish garden in the historic centre of Kromeriz. The work will include cleaning, sealing and repairs of the stone and masonry parts, followed by reinstallation of the water system to bring the fountain back to life. Work will be lead and supervised by heritage and conservation professionals. Kromeriz is UNESCO-listed and offers numerous sightseeing and leisure opportunities. It has the second largest gallery of paintings in the country, with the most valuable painting, Apollo and Marsyas, by Titian. The Czech National Trust will organise special guided tours of the Archbishop’s Palace, Gallery and Gardens for participants.
