Kulttuuriperintökohteet

Kulttuuriperintökohteet are sites of cultural significance that are preserved for their historical, architectural, archaeological, or artistic value. These sites can encompass a wide range of locations, from ancient ruins and historical buildings to significant natural landscapes that have been shaped by human activity or hold cultural importance. The preservation of kulttuuriperintökohteet is crucial for understanding past societies, traditions, and achievements, and for passing this knowledge on to future generations. In Finland, these sites are often protected by national legislation, ensuring their long-term care and accessibility. They can include everything from medieval castles and old industrial areas to important archaeological finds and even intangible cultural heritage sites. The concept emphasizes the enduring legacy of human presence and creativity.
