The project focuses on the revitalization of the interior and exterior of an important national cultural monument in the form of construction and restoration works.
The goal of the project is to preserve an object of high cultural and historical value for future generations, to increase the range of services provided by making accessible objects that have not yet been included in the existing sightseeing tours. The project will help to make the offer more attractive through the reconstruction and modernization of selected exhibitions and the terrace in the form of a baroque garden, and last but not least, the project will make the building accessible to visitors even in the winter months.
