| Summary |
|---|
| Castles and chateaux in the Czech Republic are significant landmarks in the landscape. These historic buildings are among the most sought-after destinations not only for domestic but also foreign tourist clients. Despite the questions raised, the basic information given to visitors practically does not contain any information concerning the subsoil of the building or the building material used in the construction of the building. The aim of this course is to acquire ways of searching for required information for professional presentation of individual buildings. Students in the course will also solve the geological problems of their objects. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| Students will be acquainted with geological bedrock of important castles and chateaux in the Czech Republic. Attention will also be paid to the petrographic composition of the used building stone. This knowledge will complement the missing information that will further serve to guide these monuments. |
