Erfgoed Zeeland

Erfgoed Zeeland is the regional heritage knowledge centre and support organisation for the province of Zeeland in the Netherlands. It helps people and organisations protect, use and experience the region’s rich and diverse heritage. Its audiences include heritage managers and professionals, volunteers, monument owners, educators, government employees and others working to care for Zeeland’s heritage.

The organisation provides information, advice and practical support across a broad range of fields, including archaeology, monuments, museums, intangible heritage, cultural landscapes, regional languages and heritage education. Through its Heritage Support Centre, government bodies and heritage organisations can seek guidance on area development, legislation, subsidies, reuse of historic buildings, policy and professional development. Erfgoed Zeeland also offers educational activities such as excursions and guest lessons, and provides a sustainable monument passport outlining potential energy-saving measures for historic homes and prominent buildings.

Its work includes projects, research, publications, events and public information. The organisation connects heritage groups, shares news and resources, and operates a reporting point for questions or concerns about buildings, objects, landscapes and traditions in Zeeland.
