Project description:

The project addresses the cultural development of the region and seeks to revive the cultural monument of the granary in Lemberk. The granary was not used for a long time and the city did not have enough funds to repair it. The aim of the project, therefore, is to give the granary a new life.

The granary is located near the Lemberk chateau, which is a popular and often visited monument. The project wants to establish cooperation with the National Monuments Institute, which manages this castle and thus makes Lemberk a cultural center for the entire area of the Lusatian Mountains. The granary building will serve as a hub for cultural and community activities in the Lembersko protected zone. The granary will serve as a place for an exhibition of mapped regional art and a permanent exhibition of local artists. There will also be educational and awareness-raising workshops on topics that deepen knowledge and relationship to the place and region. In which local government institutions or homes for the elderly or homes for children will be involved.

In the area of the granary and adjacent gardens, a 5 km long trail will be created, on which visitors will get acquainted with local art. The nature trail will lead through the landscape of the Lemebrsko Protected Landscape Area. The mapping of local monuments will result in a permanent exhibition in the granary.
