Restoring a Historic Fountain in UNESCO-Listed Kromeriz (Czech Republic)

The working holiday: Participants will be working on the restoration of a stone fountain in a parish garden in the historic centre of Kromeriz. The work will include cleaning, sealing and repairs of the stone and masonry parts, followed by reinstallation of the water system to bring the fountain back to life. Work will be lead and supervised by heritage and conservation professionals. Kromeriz is UNESCO-listed and offers numerous sightseeing and leisure opportunities. It has the second largest gallery of paintings in the country, with the most valuable painting, Apollo and Marsyas, by Titian. The Czech National Trust will organise special guided tours of the Palace, Gallery and Gardens for participants. Outings to other destinations are also possible. In the summer it is always nice to enjoy a glass of beer at some of the many local pubs and restaurants!

Accommodation: In a newly reconstructed designer hostel on the main square near the place of work, with wi-fi and a pleasant café. Full bedding and towels will be provided.
