Kutná Hora - Kutná Hora has received a subsidy of 89 million crowns for a large-scale reconstruction of Vlašský dvůr. The start is planned for the second half of the year, with work in the adjacent park possibly beginning as early as spring, said Jiří Janál, head of the investment department of the Kutná Hora town hall, to ČTK today.
The total costs will be around 100 million crowns, although the exact amount has not yet been calculated. "There are several figures, depending on whether we go for a larger scope of ineligible costs or not, which has not yet been definitively decided. But the subsidy is in the amount of 89 million crowns," Janál stated.
Mayor Martin Starý (Kutnohorská změna) pointed out that the acceptance of the subsidy must be approved by the councilors by the end of January. "We know that we have received the subsidy, but it has not yet been accepted," Starý told ČTK today.
In the former medieval mint, which is also the seat of the municipal office, new water, electricity, and sewage systems need to be installed. Paths, a wading pool, toilets, all walls, a gazebo need to be repaired in the park, and lighting needs to be installed. The building is also set to include new exhibitions. Conversely, the Felix Jenewein Gallery is to be moved from Vlašský dvůr to the Sankturin House.
Vlašský dvůr is a complex of buildings from the 13th and 14th centuries. Its history is linked to the rich silver deposits that led to the establishment of the royal mining town of Kutná Hora, which was once the most important town after Prague. It is believed to be named after the Wallachian masters called by the king from Florence.
