You understand absolutely well :) Unfortunately our search engine is not enought accurate yet, because we haven't got coordinates from the national heritage office, so we have given coordinates to every monuments by a geolocation bot (thanks to grin [1]). It still needs some manual correction. The search engine has written by Tgr [2], and we gladly give you under free licence. (It is some SQL queries on a PostgreSQL database.)
