our heritage




​What is UNESCO?

We are surrounded by amazing nature, wonderful places and buildings. What all these places have in common, is that they tell the story of what it is to be a human being throughout history. UNESCO claims that is is our responsibility to keep these places safe for the next generations. Read more about UNESCO here.
