Summary of project results
The project was needed in order to save a cultural monument, which was in a bad state, and it was not accessible to the public. There were many problems during the project realization, from a non-cooperation with a Norwegian partner to failure to perform construction work by the construction companies and a lack of staffing - employees and volunteers had to be working. Because of these reasons there were downtimes and delays in construction work and issuance of a final inspection decision.
The project successfully reconstructed a cultural monument and made it accessible, so it could become a new community center. The monument now hosts annual events and provides accommodation. The project raised public awareness of the monument and attracted new visitors, which supports local tourism and local businesses. During the reconstruction, the monument was visited by more than 1 500 people and the additional activities raised more than 76 thousand CZK.
The project brought a comprehensive revitalization of the mansion-house in Mladějovice, including making it available to the public and creating a centre of cultural and social life. The saving and revitalization of the monument supported local tourism, created new work places and contributed to regional development. In the long term, the project contributes to preservation of cultural heritage, raises the regions`s attractivity and supports the local community.
Summary of bilateral results
The cooperation with the Norwegian partner was not successful and the expected value of the partnership resulting from the project was not achieved. Unfortunately the partnership had to be terminated in the end.
