The 'Nieśwież Academy' International Postgraduate Summer School was founded in 1995 upon the basis of an agreement about training specialists in the protection of historical parks and gardens as well as the cultural landscape, signed by the Institute of Culture of Belarus in Minsk and the Centre for the Protection of the Historical Landscape in Warsaw. Patronage over the undertaking was entrusted to the ministers of culture of Poland and Belarus. Since 2003, when the agreement was prolonged, the partners include the State Belarusian Institute of Culture in Minsk and the National Heritage Board of Poland (formerly known as the National Centre for the Study and Documentation of Historical Monuments in Warsaw). The 'Nieśwież Academy' International Postgraduate Summer School trains graduates of schools of higher learning from Central-Eastern European countries professionally involved in the protection and conservation of historical monuments. The courses are conducted in two-year cycles, starting in the summer in Belarus and ending in the following year in Poland. So far 13 such courses have been held. The first part of the thirteenth course took place in July 2007 in Minsk (Belarus). Its main theme was 'The use of historical buildings and complexes for the purposes of tourism' and the theoretical courses were supplemented by field trips. The second part was organized in Poland in September 2007. The course included a field trip associated with the protection and shaping of the cultural landscape. The closing ceremony was held at the Myślewicki Palace in the Royal Łazienki in Warsaw, with the students of the 'Nieśwież Academy' receiving their graduation diplomas.

It deals with development of thematic orientation of historic-geographical research in course of the 20th century, introduces leading persons of individual generations and define the three today’s theoreticmethodological orientations of historic-geographical research. Since the year 2012 historic-geographical research has gained a common institutional platform: the Historical Geography Research Centre. Further research in the field of historical geography in Czechia will develop the Baker’s four key traditions of historical geography: changing distribution, changing environments, changing landscapes, changing areas and regions.

The Kłodzko Baroque landscape was shaped from the mid–17th century till approximately the mid– 18th century in the region of Kłodzko which was a part of the Czech Kingdom till 1742. Its formativ was significantly influenced by natural conditions, economy, political development related to the process of Recatholization and the manifestation of folk religiousness, and it was also influenced by the Czech Baroque landscape and Italian Baroque art. The Kłodzko macro–region, compact and homogenous, was pushed by social processes towards the development of a composed landscape unit.

The paper analyses the information obtainable from written support materials prepared for the purpose of the 1st military mapping demonstrated on the example of Nové Dvory and Žehušice landscape (this region is situated in Central Bohemia between the towns of Kutná Hora and Čáslav). In spite of the fact that maps are frequently used in research, the support materials are hardly known.

Even though cartography has tried to show the third dimension of a territory since the 18th century, the segmentation or even the appearance is very difficult to depict in detail. It is remarkable how different every new edition and a graphic approach to a map is as regards the view of the landscape; yet it can never convey every detail, not even an aerial photograph. One of the reasons why studying old maps is so popular is the search for the originál appearance and arrangement of the old, undisturbed, free, harmonious, but distinctly arranged landscape of the past, an idea of something like Arcadia, whose shine is apparent from scarce extant segments of the landscape.

The objective of the paper was to create as komplex as possible picture of how medieval people perceived and saw the surrounding landscape and its individual components and to suggest the ways of contemporary (partial) reconstruction of the appearance of the medieval landscape. In order to achieve the objektive of the paper, written, iconographic and archaeological sources were used and partly also results of natural science research were taken into consideration.

Designed landscapes were more or less a clear demonstration of status, power and entitlement in all time periods: in their relationship to the audience as well as the landscape itself. In this elementary framework, a medieval castle is a good analogy, visually commanding a landscape and embodying the political and military potential, or a baroque castle complex with extensive gardens, expressing the social status of its owner and his place in the contemporary hierarchy. The design of the landscape – adaptation of natural elements and (primarily) its cultivation and combination with architecture – can be generally regarded as a status symbol. It is evident that the interplay of the ideal and reality affected also a contemporary vedute (views / prospects) of towns, manor houses with designed micro-worlds of manorial gardens, as well as cultural landscapes. Depictions of individual types of environments, landscape frameworks and landscape compositions were based on general idealized models of environments, into which painters and engravers inserted real panoramata of towns and villages as well as other structures (such as castles and chateaux, manor houses and whatever else might interest the public), and did so with greater or lesser degree of adaptation or, if we prefer, invention. This study presents fundamental characteristics of the given genre on selected examples from Bohemia around the year 1700 (pictorial maps, manuscript and printed prospects of cultural landscape with architecure).
