Europe-wide initiative organised by the European Historic Houses Association in partnership with FRH opened the doors of Heritage to European citizens.
DESCRIPTION OF EVENT
Private owners of historic buildings across Europe opened their doors and/or organised special activities between 24-27 May, as an activity within the Private Heritage Week. The main goal is to raise awareness and reflections on the contribution of private owners of heritage buildings to society, fostering exchanges between owners/managers and the public, increasing synergies with the living arts and promoting public engagement, especially the young generation.
BACKGROUND
Across the continent private families care for many thousands churches, chapels, historic houses, castles, manors and their surroundings: a tangible memory of our European culture that connects us with our past and provides context and guidance in our lives and reaffirms our identities.
