Reconstruction

The first mention of Svijany yard, over the years, extended by a brewery, dates back to 1346, when it belonged to Cistercian monks from the monastery Hradiště. Around 1420 it was bought by Czech nobleman and an important court-clerk Jindřich of Vartenberk. He managed to keep it until his death, however, after it it was put in pawn by the Emperor Zikmund to Hynek of Valdštejn, and together with the castle Rohozec, half of Turnov and manor na Skalách it belonged to Valdštejn reign of Malá Skála.

In 2013, SVIJANY BREWERY acquired a decaying castle in Svijany, which is located across the brewery in the municipality Svijany and decided to restore it to its former dignified appearance. The brewery wished to make this cultural monument public so that it could serve as a local centre for cultural events as it used to do in the past.

Course and milestones of the project „Restored CASTLE SVIJANY presents unique sites of Bronze Age, and other history and culture“.

Ministry of Finance - National Focal Point for the EEA and Norway Grants – responds to the increasing number of misleading information and speculation about the purpose and importance of the EEA and Norway Grants in the Czech Republic. The Czech Republic is the recipient of these funds since 2004, when it joined the European Union and the European Economic Area (EEA). Since then, through them have been supported hundreds of projects worth more than 6 billion.
