The Chateau Otin Renovation Project is an ongoing restoration of a 14th Century chateau and 18th Century baroque gloriette. Both are Cultural Monument Buildings, where the Czech historian and politician, known as “Father of the Nation” – František Palacký -spent his time writing; and where his wedding with Tereza Mechurova took place in 1827.
Daria's work experience ranges from healthcare, recreational, and institutional to heritage restoration, rehabilitation, and forensic / failure investigations. He is an expert in steel and concrete structures design, but has a long-standing affinity for timber design and construction. You'd probably need to search for the Daria restoration project specifically to find it. View Entire Discussion (7 Comments) More posts from the daria community. Posted by 5 days ago. Daria helped mold me into the realistic, sarcastic adult I am today, so I honored her in Animal Crossing. The boots were the real inspiration!
Our story with Chateau Otin started on the 18th of October 2018 when, by virtue of an almost fantastic chain of events, we signed the purchase contract and Chateau Otin went into our care. During that year we managed to stop any further decay of the buildings and began to prepare the first part of the restoration project. Our aim is to not only renovate the chateau complex but to bring it back to life – and make it meaningful for people now.
The renovation is divided into three parts:
-We will start with the gloriette – this is in the worst condition currently. After renovation, this building will become an interactive museum of František Palacký, where visitors may also spend a night in the “dome room” surrounded by books and ideas.
-Renovation of the main building where a literature-inspired hotel will be opened.
-Opening the Inspirational garden with hidden reading spots. A venerable pond will gain its own “voice” and will help children from local villages to learn foreign languages.
František Palacký was born on the 14th of June 1798 in the small village of Hodslavice in Northern Moravia. His father was a Lutheran preacher who opened an Evangelical school in Hodslavice, where little František learned to read and write. When this boy was nine years old, he was sent to the Lyceum in Kunin near Nový Jičín to study German. František was a talented student – by the age of 19 he was fluent in 11 languages.

Great news! The Urban Forestry Restoration Project (UFRP) has been extended for the 2015-2016 project year (October 1, 2015 – June 30, 2016) and applications are now being accepted. Each successful applicant receives approximately four weeks of Puget SoundCorps crew time to assist with urban forestry tasks that enhance the health and function of urban trees and forests. Healthy urban trees and forests help to manage stormwater, reduce soil erosion, clean the air we breathe and the water we drink, and provide a broad range of additional ecological, economic and public health benefits.
Proposed projects must lie within the Puget Sound Basin, on publicly-owned property, and may not displace workers already in place or contracted. Criteria for selection include:
Daria Restoration Project
- Local commitment to urban forestry;
- Water quality impacts and community benefits;
- Project planning and coordination; and
- Public support and citizen stewardship involvement.
Application forms can be downloaded from the UFRP website. For questions or more information, please contact the UFRP Project Manager Micki McNaughton at (360) 902-1637 or micki.mcnaughton@dnr.wa.gov.
