Renaissance organ in the church of St. Florian in Krásné Březno

Renaissance organ in the church of St. Florian in Krásné Březno in Monumentorum Custos 2014, pp. 5–16; Studies
The article deals with possible forms of the original Renaissance organ in the church of St. Florian in Krasne Brezno in Usti nad Labem (especially the organ console), completed in the year 1606. What remains till present days of this organ is only a torso of a part of the prospect, preserved in the collections of the Museum of Usti nad Labem. We have no written sources with information about its origin and authorship: Due to this absence it was assumed on the basis of available knowledge of organ making activities in area of the Ore Mountains and Saxony that it was built in some of organ making workshops in the Dresden area. Finding of graphic model – the upper part of the scene Baptism of Christ by J. Harmensz Muller from the cycle Salus humani generis – for painted scenes of music produced by angelic choirs on the inner side of the double doors of the preserved organ prospect was very important. Results of historical, building and restoration survey of the church interior showed that a parapet of the matroneum was never broken for location of the positive at the place where the organ was situated and so the hypothesis of two manual instrument that was accepted till now can be excluded. However this fact does not exclude the use of inner space of the case of positive in front of the parapet for placing smaller part of larger sounding pipes from piperack behind the upper functional prospect with respect to its limited internal depth (up to 60 cm) allowing the placement of maximum of 8 stops.

Brief building developement of the Theresienstadt Fortress in the years of 1780–1888

Brief building developement of the Theresienstadt Fortress in the years of 1780–1888 in Monumentorum Custos 2014, pp. 71–90; Studies
Nowadays, the majority view of Theresienstadt is that it was a bastion fortress built at the end of the 18th century to defend northwest Bohemia against the Prussian invasion, which lasted unchanged until the end of the 19th century. Then the town of Theresienstadt lost its status of a fortress and the Theresienstadt Fortress did not enter history until the German occupation of the Czech lands during the Second World War, when it became a symbol of the atrocities and brutality committed by the Nazis. This image is supported by most of the literature commonly available today. Today, we can count on one hand the number of books that have been published focusing on the Terezín Fortress itself. This article therefore wishes to contribute to the few works on the subject.
Functioning of the summer residence of the Emperor Ferdinand V, the Good, in Ploskovice

Functioning of the summer residence of the Emperor Ferdinand V, the Good, in Ploskovice in Monumentorum Custos 2014, pp. 91–98; Studies
The castle and its surrounding gardens in Ploskovice served as a summer residence of the Emperor Ferdinand I and V the Good in the third quarter of the 19th century. If we want to inquire about functioning of the castle and its gardens there are available interesting materials that has been preserved till today. These are mainly budgets that were compiled for the castle by the castle guard Franz Ullmann, for the garden it was the gardener Franz Fritsch. On the 20th of every month they sent them to the the Emperor‘s Court (at first to the highest steward, later to so called intendant) to be approved. For examination we have chosen the budgets from the year 1854, when the Emperor arrived in the summer residence for the first time, and the year 1859 so that the two years can be compared. For these two years both the budget fot the castle and the garden budget have been preserved for almost all months.
Chapel of St. Wenceslas in Prachova

Chapel of St. Wenceslas in Prachova in Monumentorum Custos 2014, pp. 99–114; Studies
Parish Church of St. Nicolas in Prachova in the Litomerice region was first mentioned in the year 1272. According to preserved survey from the first third of the 19th century we can assume that the church is an early Gothic structure founded around the year 1300. It is also supposed that the building was already then a one nave church with a nearly square floor plan, the same applied to a presbytery. The nave was accessible by a pointed portal in the south wall. Around the year 1573 the church burned down including a tower with a bell. In 1573 Brikcí z Cimperka cast a new bell, which remained at the latest till the 70’s of the 18th century in the nearby village Hrusovany. Importance of this religious buildings declined especially after the village ceased to exist probably in period of the Thirty Years War. In the late 17th century the church was in written sources referred to at first as a subsidiary church, later a chapel. Also original medieval dedication of the church changed – from St. Nicolas to St. Wenceslas.
In the mid-20’s and in the late 60’s and early 70’s of the 18th century some reconstructions were carried out, nevertheless they failed to protect the chapel from gradual deterioration. In the early 19th century the state of this object of medieval origin was no more sustainable and it had to be demolished. In its place was in the years 1835–1839 built a new chapel in Empire style, designed by the Litomerice regional engineer Wenzel Geržabek. In 1861 the sacristy was attached to the chapel, then in the late 70’s of the same century a significant static securing of the building was implemented. Not so much used chapel surrounded only by a cemetery underwent the greatest degradation after the year 1945. After many years of neglected maintenance and purposeful devastation the object became a ruin. The demolition which had been considered was never carried out. Currently, the ruins of a chapel with preserved perimete walls is private and the owner has been planning adaptation for housing purposes since the year 2010. The building deserves reconstruction, but, if possible, with respect to its historical form from the 30’s of the 19th century.

Newly found projects in architectural competitions in the town Teplice on the turn of the 19th and 20th century in Monumentorum Custos 2014, pp. 115–130; Studies
On the basis of research of other sources we succeded in finding other projects from several architectural competitions in the town of Teplice from the period of 1900 and 1914. Competitions in Teplice and its neighbourhood at the end of existence of Austria-Hungary were a unique show and at the same time “a wrestling ring” of various architectural trends and styles occurring in environment of German Bohemia.
Extinct Chapel of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary in Rudolice nad Bílinou

Extinct Chapel of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary in Rudolice nad Bílinou in Monumentorum Custos 2014, pp. 131–136; Vanished Monuments
The Chapel of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary in Rudolice was not listed as a cultural monument, therefore detailed photographic and measurement documentation was not required before its demolition. However, it should be noted that in the case of the full-scale liquidation of villages associated with coal mining or the construction of water reservoirs, strong requirements were placed on the maximum acceleration of approval processes. Apparently, this is why the Ministry of Culture often backed down from fulfilling the legal requirements and issued mass decisions on the abandonment of monument protection without any conditions.
