On the last Sunday in September, Monument Day celebrates craftsmanship and restoration as the basis of monument preservation under the motto HAND//WERK gedacht+gemacht. On this special day, owners open the doors to places that are otherwise inaccessible or only accessible to a limited extent. The importance of monument protection and preservation can be experienced and perceived at first hand through special guided tours and exciting program items.
The Day of Monuments is not only an Austrian tradition, but also part of the European Heritage Days: an initiative of the Council of Europe and the European Union, which this year focuses on heritage protection with the motto “Heritage of Routes, Networks and Connections”. Tip: On Heritage Day, there is the opportunity to visit the unrenovated Girardihaus in Graz (advance booking required). Experts will explain how to work with the historical substance.
