Geschiedenis

Religious heritage buildings are under threat across Europe. Shrinking congregations, financial distress and lack of knowledge about conserving the buildings and treasures held within them, all contribute to this impeding loss of a substantial collection of testaments to European history and intangible heritage. FRH was formed with support from numerous organisations in several European countries to create a unified voice for the many European organisations that are working hard to mitigate the detrimental consequences of this trend for religious heritage. FRH acts as a link between practitioners and policymakers and as a platform for communication across countries, cultures and religions, exchanging knowledge and experience of common issues.

Registered in Belgium and with offices in London and Brussels, FRH was established in 2009, and registered in 2011. Our members include charities, governmental institutions, university departments and dedicated individuals from over 30 European countries.
