Cultural heritage - Askeladden WMS
Cultural heritage - Askeladden WMS from Askeladden, the national cultural heritage database managed by Riksantikvaren (the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage). The dataset covers the full range of cultural heritage values:
- Automatically protected cultural heritage sites (everything older than 1537, the Reformation cut-off) under the Cultural Heritage Act, section 4
- Protected by decision or regulation: cultural heritage sites and cultural environments from more recent times
- Temporarily protected sites and ongoing protection cases
- Locally valuable buildings and environments without formal protection, but on a national or municipal list
- Cultural heritage protected under the Planning and Building Act through consideration zones (hensynssoner)
For a developer, cultural heritage data is a mandatory check at the zoning stage. An automatically protected cultural heritage site on or below ground can in practice stop a development or trigger costly archaeological excavations under the Cultural Heritage Act, section 9. For home buyers, a protected building can mean both limits on changes and special rights, such as grants and exemptions from some building regulations.
