The funding programme supports construction measures in monasteries, castles, palaces and industrial monuments. For each construction measure, the applicant can receive up to 100,000 Euros from the UPD, whereby the same applicant may apply for several funding programs. However, only construction measures that serve the restoration as well as the preservation of the substance in the sense of monument conservation are financed by the Bezirk Oberpfalz.
The subsidy is based on the total eligible costs of the restoration of the monument.

- Regular funding rate: 5%.
- Funding rate for special cases: up to 10%.
- Maximum grant: 100,000.00

The demand for the funding programme is high, because the grants from the UPD help to strengthen the applicant's own funds. That is, the grants from the UPD boost the own resources of the municipalities and other applicants and have a leverage effect.
