Jan Hladik, Director of the World Heritage Centre at UNESCO in Paris, was engaged as lecturer on UNESCO and the protection of cultural heritage for the "Cultural Property Protection" program.
During his presentation on October 21, 2016, Jan Hladik highlighted the close connections between UNESCO, international agreements, global affairs, and diplomacy.
The Department for Building and Environment took his visit as an opportunity for profound discussions to further enhance the long-standing cooperation with UNESCO. His visit concluded with a tour of Göttweig Abbey, the History Trail on Göttweiger Berg, and the ruins of Aggstein Castle, all under the splendid autumn weather.
Jan Hladik expressed his admiration not only for the region's cultural heritage but also for the professionalism of the Department for Building and Environment, whose program on Cultural Property Protection he regards as unparalleled worldwide.
