After about a year of efforts and administrative activities, on the first of December this year the project contract could be signed with the SR Ministry of Investments, Regional Development and Informatization. In the meantime, the municipality of Beckov launched preparatory works for the adjustment of project documentation. Most likely, in early 2021 a public procurement for the project implementer should take place and in spring the work on the restoration of the Western Palace could start.
The DRAGON project received a grant from the EEA and Norway and the state budget of the Slovak Republic for the restoration of the western palace and interior equipment in the amount of €983,557. The goal of the project is to bring the West Palace and the entire area into a form that will respect and emphasize the preserved historical values from the High Gothic and Renaissance periods.
