The study deals with the restoration and the new use of the Classicist Chateau in Hrušovany nad Jevišovkou. The castle is now in the possession of the village, it is unused and degraded. The basic idea was to create a castle attractive not only for tourists, but also for the inhabitants of Hrušovany. Another idea was to combine several different functions that connect each other, but they can work independently. There are designed exhibition spaces, wine bar, multifunctional hall, seniors club or chateau-style accommodation. A new building, which serves as a guest house (guest house and restaurant), is proposed at the site of a no longer existing building.

Kulturní památky se vyznačují specifickými znaky a hodnotami, díky nimž obohacují veřejnost a uspokojují její kulturně-výchovné potřeby. Tyto hodnoty jsou prospěchem, na základě kterého lze argumentovat ve prospěch podpory památek z veřejných zdrojů. Památky je třeba nejen finančně podporovat, ale také starat se o jejich ochranu, uchování a prezentaci, což je úkolem státní památkové péče. V poslední době se často hovoří o potřebě reformy této oblasti, což dokládají i vydané dokumenty zabývající se touto problematikou. Práce se zabývá rozborem těchto materiálů a hodnocením nejpodstatnějších aktuálních problémů. Praktická část diplomové práce je pak věnována státnímu zámku Konopiště, přibližuje jeho provoz, financování a především hospodaření objetku, zároveň poukazuje na problémy s nimiž se správa zámku potýká.

The dissertation is dealing with work of Viennese architect and builder from the first half of the 18th century Antonio Ehorto Martinelli in the Schwarzenberk's service in the years 1722-1732.

Martinelli in the Shwarzenberk's service was markedly extended on the occasion of dealing with the settled topic and moreover a few little and even a few bigger new pieces of knowledge appeared, e.g. information about concerned gangers, building development of the studied objects out of the settled period etc.

I described the changing of the owners of the manor. I tried to map trade with the surrounding villages and their belonging with the manor. I focused on the building of Chroustovice manorhouse, which was the centre of the manor, and it still dominates the village. I tried to collected the fate of the most prominent local natives.

The thesis is about a project for teenagers, called "Chain tour guiding". The project has been held in Vrchotovy Janovice every year since 1994. One of the typical features of this project is a role swap, the principle of which is a group of students becoming the tour guides in the chateau after a short but very intensive training session. The thesis describes in details the method of "Chain tour guiding", its origin, historical background, development and pedagogical segments. It establishes its structure as a project, forms the goals, methods of realising the project, concomitant materials and rating. The author (of the thesis) gains the information from methods of historical pedagogical research, draws the information from specialised literature, provides the documentation analyses and carries out the interviews with the authors of the original project. The first two chapters describe the elements which include experiential pedagogy, object learning, communal learning and revival history. There is an independent chapter dedicated to the Vrchotovy Janovice chateau and the surrounding park. The last part of the thesis defines the definition of "Chain touring" as a project.
