The thesis focuses on developing heritage conservation
practices in Czechoslovakia between 1945 and 1951, using the
Lysice Chateau as an example of the first-category heritage
site and so-called collection centre. The thesis examines the
chateau's history after 1945, its transfer to the National Land
Fund and later to the National Cultural Commission. It also
explores the relocation of furniture, proposals for alternative
uses of the chateau, and its opening to the public. The period
represents a dynamic phase during which foundations of heritage
conservation were established.
