Discover Funding Opportunities

This grant program supports owners and managers of ruins and structures from the medieval period (before 1537) in Norway. Funding is available for conservation, documentation, maintenance, monitoring, and initiatives that develop and disseminate knowledge about medieval ruins. The program is administered by county municipalities (fylkeskommuner) and the Directorate for Cultural Heritage (Riksantikvaren), with particular focus on the major medieval cities of Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, and Tønsberg. When distributing grants, priority is given to initiatives that develop and communicate knowledge about traditional crafts and material quality, helping to ensure competence and material access for restoration and maintenance. The program aims to preserve Norway's important medieval cultural heritage through both physical conservation and knowledge sharing.
