The National Heritage Institute and heritage conservation

The Czech Republic is a country full of historic buildings. Many of them are owned by the state, and the National Heritage Institute (NPÚ) looks after them. We tell you their stories and open their gates to you, allowing them to live and develop into this millennium. We also research historic buildings, and provide assistance to all those who look after them. We are proud of every chapel, wooden cottage, mansion, brewery and unique bridge that has been rescued, and we are keen to show them to you.
