Vítkovice industrial complex to be part of European Culture Heritage list

The former Vítkovice industrial complex in Ostrava has become the first Czech site to enter the newly emerging list of European Cultural Heritage. Other landmarks nominated by the Czech Ministry of Culture include the modern centre of Zlín, the Kynžvart Chateau in west Bohemia and the town of Vysoká u Příbrami, connected with Czech composer Antonín Dvořák. The EU list of European Cultural Heritage has been inspired by the UNESCO project and still has to be approved by the European Commission.
