About National Built Heritage Service

Established under the Architectural Heritage (National Inventory) and Historic Monuments (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1999, NIAH serves as a resource for protection and conservation efforts. The NIAH surveys provide the basis for recommendations to planning authorities and inclusion in the Record of Protected Structures.
The brand's work aligns with the Granada Convention, emphasizing the importance of inventories in conservation policies. The NIAH Building Survey serves as a baseline of information, capturing the core data necessary for uniquely identifying, recording, and evaluating a representative sample of Ireland's architectural heritage. The brand aims to increase public awareness and appreciation of the country's architectural heritage, believing that it encompasses a diverse range of structures and sites.
