The project "Castle Český Krumlov - Study Centre of Applied Research of Cultural and Historic Heritage and Environmental and Social Disciplines" comprehensively addresses the protection, renovation, preservation, utilization and making accessible the extremely valuable building that houses the former "Sloupová síň" (Column Hall), which has not been used for many years and is located within the grounds of the castle and chateau Český Krumlov, a national cultural monument and a UNESCO site. The project includes constructional and conservational renovation, revitalization of interiors and exteriors of the former Column Hall and functional utilization of the renovated interiors for the new function of the international Study Center. The outstanding environment of the UNESCO site and attractive utilization of the Study Center will constitute an opposite pole to the mass tourism. The project implementation will meet the demand for this type of innovative utilization of UNESCO sites. The issues of administration, renovation and development of a UNESCO site, environmental development and culture in Bohemia or Central Europe are attractive for a large number of prestigious domestic and foreign schools and universities that have been striving for several years for an opportunity of studies connected with a stay in the place.
