CROATIAN INSTITUTE OF HISTORY – CALL FOR DONATIONS
We
need your help!
Croatian
Institute of History is located in the palace in Opaticka 10 (Zagreb, Croatia).
This is a unique building, rich in history and values, among which one has to
emphasize Golden Hall, Pompey Hall and Renaissance Studio. These representative
facilities are used for the organization of scientific meetings and concerts of
classical music.
Institute’s
scholars perform comprehensive research and elaborate analyses regarding better
understanding of Croatian history in regional and European context covering the
periods from the early Middle Ages to contemporary history.
Following
the earthquake which struck Zagreb on March 22, 2020, the palace of the
Croatian Institute of History has been repeatedly damaged. It is a protected
cultural property of the Republic of Croatia (Palace of Theology and Teaching,
Z-192). Although the palace was not statically endangered, all the historical,
representative and working spaces suffered numerous damages.
Unfortunately,
a detailed damage assessment and cost estimation for the complete
reconstruction of the building and art pieces have not yet been made due to the
objective reasons, but we are actively working on it.
Rough estimation of the urgent reconstruction costs of the roof and the damaged working spaces unfortunately exceeds the financial capabilities of the Institute. These repairing are crucial so that the Palace and the staff of the Institute can endure the winter and safely wait for a thorough reconstruction. The roughly estimated amount of the necessary repairs (closure of the roof and the repairs of the ceilings for 5 damaged work spaces) is 220,000 HRK/ 28 981,36 EURO.
