Building Register Environment

The Building Register, BeBR, is a national register with information about the built cultural heritage. Here you can find everything from log cabins and old industrial environments to modern urban buildings. There are about 80000 searchable entries in the register, of which about 13000 buildings are protected as monuments and churches. Updates and new registrations are made continuously. The information presented in the Building Register is taken from inventories, documentation, archives and literature. The information is produced and registered by regional museums, the Church of Sweden, county administrative boards, municipalities, universities and colleges in collaboration with the National Heritage Board. In BeBR, environment refers to the physical environment in which the buildings are located. The environment is divided into different categories, based on the classification into landscape and environmental types applied by RAÄ when describing the national interest areas for cultural heritage conservation. Examples of environmental categories are coastal and archipelago environments, agricultural landscapes and industrial environments.
