This is the first agreement between the Ministry of Culture National Heritage and Sport and the National Center for Agricultural Support which concerns the protection of Polish heritage. This Wednesday we will meet in the village of Szczuki in northern Mazovia to take the first action under the agreement. The mansion located there - the only one with which Maria Skodowska-Curie was connected - will be renovated as the first said the Deputy Minister of Culture National Heritage and Sport General Conservator of Monuments prof. IH PAN Magdalena Gawin during the ceremony of signing the agreement of conservation services and KOWR.The General Conservator of Monuments pointed out that the National Center for Agricultural Support is in possession of a very valuable heritage - palaces and manors - and they are the most endangered category of monuments.From the moment the agreement is signed we will be renovating monuments that have so far been neglected and abandoned and yet they are a testimony to our history social technical and economic life. An example here is the manor house in the village of Szczuki where Maria Skodowska-Curie spent several years which were a very important stage in her life - Magdalena Gawin noted.Magorzata Goniowska-Kola the Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage and the Director General of the National Agricultural Support Center Magorzata Goniowska-Kola signed an agreement that will enable joint actions of conservation services and local branches of the KOWR to protect cultural heritage owned by the State Treasury and managed by the National Center for Agricultural Support.Our agreement is another gesture towards the communities that have been most difficult to transform and have a degraded heritage. The cooperation is also aimed at raising their standard of living. Degraded historic buildings often disfigure the town. We want important events to take place in them - after conservation - and that they become the centers of cultural life and that the inhabitants should be proud of them - said Deputy Minister Magdalena Gawin.About the agreementA significant part of the property owned by the State Treasury managed by the National Agricultural Support Center are historic buildings covered by conservation protection through entry in the register of monuments.
