International

In addition to the core task of maintaining built heritage in the best possible way, Burghauptmannschaft Österreich has initiated, accompanied and carried out various (EU-) projects since 2013.

As a result, important issues such as further training in the field of maintenance of historic buildings could be tackled and implemented. In addition to EU projects, Burghauptmannschaft Österreich also allowed other innovative ideas and artistic expression to prosper, which resulted in diverse and exciting synergies. 

On this website, you will learn more about our international projects, partnerships and types of cooperation. You can also find information in the newsletters International Projects. You can find out more about our Project Partners or the theme-specific events under Events International.
