Restoration of the Kuks Hospital. Notes on the restoration of historical colour scheme
The article provides comprehensive information about the restoration of the state protected site of the Hospital Kuks. It includes a history of the site from its inception until its current restoration. The original concept for the restoration had as its main goal presenting the site as a complex composite area created gradually in many, often contradictory, phases. This concept was fulfilled only partially with some unavoidable compromises and a few disputed choices. The results overall can however be seen as successful, especially given the inherent degree of difficulty. The complicated issues encountered during the project are illustrated on the case of the restoration of the colour scheme of the hospice facades.
