Support of the National Theatre
On 6th March 2008 Mrs. Dominika Kolowrat-Krakovská signed a contract with Mr. Ondřej Černý, the general director of the National Theatre. The contract was an actualisation of an original contract compacted with the count Jindřich Kolowrat-Krakovský, thanks to which the National Theatre obtained the right to use the Kolowrat Palace for 1 CZK per year for twenty years. The rent includes neighbouring operational building as well which is also a must for running of neighbouring building the Estates Theatre.The restaurant in the Kolowrat Palace, which had been out of order for many years, was excluded from the contract. Profit from its rent will be revenue of the Endowment Fund Kolowratek. Kolowrat-Krakowský, in that way, have taken up tradition of supporting the National Theatre which has been dated to its establishment. One of Kolowrat nobleman, count Jan Nepomuk Karel Kolowrat-Krakovský, called Hanuš, made a highest financial contribution to the national collection for the theatre´s construction.
