Revitalization of the castle Uherčice

This diploma project deals with architectural study and functional use of the Uherčice castle grounds with regard to its character, location in the countryside and in the village, preservation of monuments and requirements of the inserted functions, as well as the creation of new opportunities for visitors and the reconnection to life of the inhabitants of the Uherčice village. And as a place of rest, education, employment and as a re-center of the area. A proposal of modification of the selected part of the castle and the park with the restoration of the French garden in its original place is a part of the project. The reconstruction of the former orangery and the new greenhouse building are proposed. Re-build greenhouse is attached with an apartment for the gardener. The second greenhouse complements one of the castle's axes and is designed for the world's largest water lily, Victoria Amazonica. In the selected part of the chateau, I mainly dealt with its use for cultural and social events that could take place here and the facilities that would be needed, including an apartment for short-term accommodation of visitors to these events. In addition, the entrance area and the operational facilities of the castle with a castellan apartment and accommodation for tourist guides are also solved
