More about the book

This collection features a range of scholarly contributions focused on the historical and cultural significance of Telč and its surroundings. It begins with an exploration of the city's heritage status, marking forty years since its declaration as a city monument reserve. The authors delve into the early history of Telč and examine the controversial role of Baldassare Maggi in the castle's architectural development during the late 16th century. The artistic contributions of Francesco Terzio in the decoration of the state castle are also highlighted. Further discussions include the evolution of two Baroque estates in Moravia and their gardens, addressing the challenges of preserving natural heritage and sculptural decorations. Sustainable tourism development and its relation to global cultural heritage in international documents are examined, alongside the reconstruction of historical buildings in the Vysočina region. The text also presents examples of the restoration of stucco decorations in rural buildings and discusses the discovery of a malting forest at a former noble brewery in Žirovnici. Additionally, the significance of oriental carpets in Telč's state castle and the restoration of various historical artifacts, including maps and sculptures, are covered. The compilation concludes with a reflective piece, summarizing the importance of these cultural endeavors.
