Each year, Europa Nostra and the European Union reward the best of cultural heritage achievements. The European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra Awards celebrates excellence and dedication by architects, craftsmen, volunteers, schools, local communities, heritage owners and media. Through the power of their example the aim is to stimulate creativity and innovation, and awareness-raising of the benefits Europe’s rich cultural heritage adds to the quality of our lives.
