The National Heritage Protection and Development Non-Profit Agency was established to carry out national cultural heritage protection tasks. Its aim is to ensure the sustainable utilisation of historic buildings and monuments, and to participate in their development and renovation. It is also charged with providing attractive contents for visitors at the historic sites. As an active participant in protecting Hungarian built heritage, it operates over 30 buildings enjoying monument protection, while its portfolio covers priority state investments in addition to developments aimed at preserving the country’s built heritage. The Agency coordinates the developments of the National Palace Programme and the National Castle Programme, whose aim is not only the interior and exterior renovation of buildings in the spirit of preserving cultural heritage but also to bring them to life with varied programmes and events. Eight castles included in the programme are presented in this issue of the series.
