Czech Republic monument restoration projects

Overview

The Czech Republic is conducting various restoration projects on historic and religious monuments across several regions.

In Česká Lípa, work is underway on the Holy Trinity Column to repair cracks and replace missing parts, with completion expected by November 2026. Meanwhile, in Olomouc, a two-year restoration of the UNESCO-listed Holy Trinity Column is nearing completion, a process that included the discovery of a time capsule and an unidentified underground space.

In Svákov, the pilgrimage chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows is being fitted with a renovated replacement bell following storm damage; workers also discovered a time capsule from June 1945 during bell tower repairs. Additionally, restorers in Příbor have completed the renewal of an 18th-century monument featuring a statue of the Virgin Mary Assumpta, which included the reconstruction of a missing radiant halo based on historical photographs.
