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. We, therefore, decided to buy the granary and give it a new life. The granary is located near the Lemberk chateau, which is a popular and often visited monument. In our project, we want 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, we will also create a 5 km long trail, on which visitors will get acquainted with local art. Along the entire route of the trail, information boards will be created with descriptions and photographs of Baroque sculptures located in the vicinity of Lemberk, the fountain of Zdislava springs, sculptures from the Lemberk Foundation and many others. Information boards on local monuments will be supplemented and changed during the project implementation. The nature trail will lead through the landscape of the Lemebrsko Protected Landscape Area and make their walk more attractive to visitors. The mapping of local monuments will result in a permanent exhibition in the granary, which will be open to the public from June to October.
