Applicant: The Forster Gyula National Centre for Heritage Protection and Asset Management (hereinafter referred to as: Forster Centre) is a central budgetary body and legal entity with national competence, which operates independently and manages it. Its core activity is the preservation, development, exploitation and operation of certain properties of high cultural heritage value held permanently in state ownership, including the provision of museums, culture and other cultural services. It performs the maintenance, development, utilisation and operation of the state-owned heritage in its asset management, the prominent monuments, monuments, monumental values and archaeological sites, equipment and collections within the framework of Heritage Management. In the present project, the Applicant intends to renovate the Püspöki Palace in Sümeg, Veszprém County, and to enrich its range of services with additional tourist attractions. Location of the project: 8330 Sümeg, Szent István Square 10. Geographical area: 1422/3, monument number: 5296. Objectives: The basic goal of the development is to create a competitive, multifunctional cultural and tourist attraction that can become the dominant tourist attraction of the region. The basic goal of the development is to contribute to the strengthening of the Hungarian cultural tourism, to increase the knowledge of the visitors, to provide interactive exhibitions and visitors-friendly services rich in experiences. It is a fundamental endeavour to save monumental values and ensure sustainable operation through the tourist utilisation of the Bishop’s Palace in Sümeg. In addition, it is important to increase the number of visitors to the Palace, the guest traffic of the town of Sümeg, as well as the reduction of seasonality in tourist data thanks to the varied and partly indoor programmes and events. Consortium: As a consortium member, Forster Centre involves Budavári Real Estate Development and Operator Nonprofit Kft. as a partner in the implementation and maintenance of the project. The consortium leader is Forster Centre. In the implementation of the project, the tasks will be shared by the participants in the consortium as follows: The Forster Centre prepares and arranges plans, related background studies, performs project management during implementation, manages the progress of the project with the help of professional colleagues and participates in the implementation of the project’s professional tasks. Budavári Real Estate developer implements the public procurement, all investment and professional service tasks, using the reserve if necessary. At the same time, it will take over the operation tasks of the castle from the Forster Centre. The Forster Centre accounts for the project costs gross and the Budavári Real Estate developer on a net basis. The aid intensity of the project is 100 % and the aid requested is HUF 1.5 billion, of which HUF 7.5 million falls into the ‘de minimis’ category, i.e. de minimis. Improvements: After the renovation of the roof and facade of the castle took place within the framework of previous projects, the present development focuses primarily on the restoration of the interiors, their filling with real tourist attraction content and attractions. In the area of the former kitchen we plan to create the cafeteria and the baroque view kitchen. The sala terrena under the terrace in the middle of the south wing, decorated with a special wall painting, now heavily damaged, will be fully restored and presented. To the north of the rear gateway, we plan the reconstruction of the former mug cellar, where the museum pedagogical employer is also located. The restoration of the pieces of the chapel, which can be enjoyed in their present state, is also part of the program. The more prominent units of the floor spaces are the so-called “episcopal interiors” presented with restored wall paintings, parquet, panelling, and in some places with contemporary equipment, as well as the Padányi Library. In addition, space for permanent and temporary exhibitions and opportunities for interactive learning will be created. The organisation of the immediate surroundings of the building is also part of the program, including an inner courtyard with a uniform image, the area next to the palace, an open-air event venue. The part of the former ornamental garden belonging to the palace is also summoned, as well as the restoration of the walls and fence walls. Attraction: As part of the planned development, permanent and temporary exhibition spaces will be set up in the palace, as well as rooms and rows of rooms suitable for organising events, which, in addition to the consecrated chapel, can provide suitable infrastructure for both weddings and other representative events. A souvenir shop and a baroque kitchen with a coffee shop and a warming kitchen are being reconstructed in the palace. “Episcopal interior” is a restored representative with a rich wall p...
