On Green Mountain, a UNESCO heritage site, they repaired the vault of the church this year

Žďár nad Sázavou - Only thanks to an extraordinary subsidy of ten million crowns will it be possible to repair the vault this year in the Church of St. John of Nepomuk on Green Mountain in Žďár nad Sázavou. Otherwise, according to the monument's caretaker Karel Straka, scaffolding could stand there for another ten years. A similar situation occurred before 1989 when scaffolding around the church was up for eight years until it had to be cut down with an oxy-fuel torch. The church's restoration began in 2002 after the state invested nearly 60 million crowns into the surrounding ambits.
The flow of money into the restoration of the monument, which was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1994, nearly came to a halt afterward. For example, last year the state invested 900,000 crowns into the restoration of the church's interior, which is just enough to rent the scaffolding, the caretaker jokingly told ČTK.
Skilled workers have repaired the historical flooring and restorers have renovated the doors in the church over the past five years. Then they proceeded to restore the plaster. During surveys, the conservationists found parts of the original plaster that were not destroyed by the fire in 1784. This was followed by the restoration and securing of the trusses, and now the restoration of the original stucco decorations of the vault, which fell during the fire, is being completed.
The dominant symbol of the church - a wooden relief of the tongue of St. John of Nepomuk - was removed from the vault of the sanctuary before the restoration. According to legend, the Czech martyr did not reveal the secret of confession, and the miraculous finding of the alleged John's tongue became the decisive impulse for the construction of the church. For now, the relief is in the restorers' workshops, and Straka does not know exactly when it will be hung. "Definitely by the Žďár pilgrimage in May. Then the scaffolding will disappear from the church," he told ČTK.
In the church, the electrical installation, lighting, and sound system still need to be built. Money will also be needed for the restoration of the furniture, which is, however, the property of the church. The church has been owned by the state since the 1950s. It is not excluded that it will be returned to the church, similarly to the nearby castle (formerly monastic) church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The state returned that to the Catholic Church along with the parish in 2004.
