The history of Sázava monastery dates back to 1032 and is well known as a place where the development of Slavic literature and liturgy has continued. The original cathedral has never been finished but the monastery itself took an important religious role for centuries. Monumental torso of the Gothic church of St. Prokop from 13th Century was the main part of long term restoration project that has been carried out over decade. The conservation of ruin made from red arkosis was the main goal of the project. General assessment of the site forerun the implementation.
