With this knowledge, we uncover a differentiation between the theoretical assumptions and the reality of the castellanship praxis inside the sites managed by the NHI. Through the interviews we then verify three separate research hypotheses, which aim to formalize the problems and hardships encountered in the castellan's work. In the last chapter, results of this research are interpretted with the focus on their practical application, along with their possible effects on future developments of the praxis of castellanship.

The end of the text includes a crucial chapter focusing on planning and formulating of visions and conceptions of maintenance of concrete heritage areas. This part is extremely crucial as it is often overlooked. Sometimes from intellectual reasons but usually from a lack of time that is dedicated to operative solutions of concrete problems without an overall conception. These partial solutions are isolated with no linkup between them. The methodology urges the mangers to focus on conceptual activities and planning that will pay off in a long run.
