ENThe national parks arc the State protected territories, where the objects of ethnic architecture or even entire villages with their nice landscapes and the objects of professional cultural history need to be protected. This is also important for the national identity and the preservation of distinctive and unique culture. Unfortunately, this preservation is more declarative than real. The situation is really dangerous. The main dangers are: the senescence of country people; the lack of private funds for the restoration and the default of national sponsorship; the obsolescence of architectural focus and traditional materials; the destruction of small pieces of architecture and traditional plants in the homesteads; and incommensurate attention by the authorities only to the heritage of the brick architecture. The article presents the analysis of these dangers and discusses possible ways to abate these dangers. [From the publication]
