After the introductory lecture, presenting selective examples of sensitive approach or relation to the artefacts of the past before the origination of the first legislative tools serving to protect historical monuments, attention is mainly paid to the development of the principles of care of historical monuments of the 19th and 20th centuries, including the establishment and activities of the Viennese Austrian-Hungarian committee for preservation of and searching for historical buildings. The education presents concepts of approaches to the historical monuments found both in theoretical works and practical realizations of the leading personalities in the field (E. E. Viollet le Duc, J. Ruskin, A. Riegl, G. G. Dehio, M. Dvořák, Z. Wirth, V. Wagner) with especial focus on the Central-European milieu.
