About Hartenberg z.s.

Hartenberg z.s. is a non-profit association founded in 2008 in the Karlovy Vary region of the Czech Republic. Established by a group of cultural enthusiasts, our organization focuses on the restoration of the medieval Hartenberg Castle and associated heritage buildings. We believe heritage is a living resource that strengthens community identity and provides opportunities for social inclusion. Our activities include restoration projects, volunteer camps with participants from more than seventy-five countries, social programs for disadvantaged groups, and community events such as workshops and festivals. We collaborate with local and international partners to expand our impact, while ensuring sustainable practices that protect both the built heritage and the surrounding environment. Recognized nationally for our achievements, Hartenberg z.s. stands out for combining heritage preservation with education, intercultural exchange, and social responsibility. We continue to innovate, connecting history with modern community needs, and creating a vibrant hub of culture, learning, and participation for future generations.
