The destruction of monuments during armed conflicts in various countries prompted the National Heritage Institute to take preventive action in the case of Český Krumlov. The Institute has asked UNESCO to register the castle among the cultural assets granted enhanced protection. The nomination was submitted by the Institute in February, and a decision is expected in December.
If the nomination is accepted by the relevant UNESCO committee, the two monuments will be under “enhanced protection in the event of armed conflict” in Czechia.
