The Heritage Listing Department of the Poitou-Charentes region

The architectural, intangible or tangible, heritage is particularly extensive in the Poitou-Charentes region and represents an important factor of cultural, social, touristic and economic development for the area. That is why the region has been carrying out a policy for promoting the area: through scientific studies, mediation, historical monuments restorations, regional support and artworks purchase for museum. The Heritage Department is in charge of developing these actions, including listing the cultural heritage..

General inventory of the cultural heritage

For 40 years, inventory operations have led to a great amount of documentation about more than 57 000 buildings and objects, in 821 towns of the region. To share this history and heritage knowledge with the inhabitants, the department regularly develops several mediation and promotion actions: books, conferences, free exhibitions, online publications and discoveries, as well as innovative digital projects
