This project includes a survey of the structure, documentation and subsequent reconstruction of the gentry manor house, built in 18th century in the village of Turik, in the region of Liptov, Central Slovakia.

The renovated building would serve the Foundation as a craft training and information center in order to wake up the awareness of the cultural heritage in the young people from Slovakia, but also from other countries - in the sense of recommendations of the recent report of the World Commission for Culture and Development.

It is also an ideal site for workshops and experience exchanges. The Liptov region abounds in historical castles, manors and other remarkable monuments. Planned activities in the renovated house, will, hopefully, also contribute to the revitalization of the Liptov region.

Estimated costs: 150 000 $
