Pro Monumenta


Pro Monumenta (Prevention by Maintenance) is a new activity of the Monumental Office of the Slovak Republic. Prevention by Maintenance is a pre-defined 2009-2014 project supported by the EEA Financial Mechanism and by the National Budget of the Slovak Republic, elaborated under the Programme Agreement made by and between the Committee for the Financial Mechanism formed by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway and the Government Office of the Slovak Republic as a national contact point, representing the Slovak Republic, on financing the Programme “Preservation and revitalisation of cultural and natural heritage and promotion of diversity in culture and arts within European cultural heritage”. The Agreement aims at increasing the awareness of people about the current state of immovable cultural monuments, removing minor damage of monuments and at informing owners or managers of immovable cultural heritage about the opportunities they have in Slovakia to maintain them. Their higher ability to keep monuments in good condition will contribute in preserving the most significant parts of our national cultural heritage.


Pro Monumenta – Prevention by Maintenance is based on the assumption that regular maintenance of the immovable cultural heritage is much cheaper than its comprehensive restoration conducted once in several decades. A number of defects of historical  monuments is caused by neglecting the maintenance or by inappropriate maintenance.

Pro Monumenta – at the Povazsky Castle

A work group of cultural monument restoration experts participated in the restoration of the Castle. Mr Rezník and Mr Ižvolt were in charge of the group. The inspection was conducted to identify the technical condition of the Castle. Objects which are being restored thanks to the Norwegian Funds were also inspected, and we found several solutions at the place. We recommend all the cultural monument owners or managers to contact “Pro Monumenta” in preparing the restoration or during the restoration itself.
