Overview
The European Historic Houses is an umbrella association covering 27 national associations of privately-owned historic houses. Our main office is in Brussels, Belgium, within the EU quarter. We aim at raising awareness and advocating at a European level about private cultural heritage. The Association defends the preservation, conservation, and transmission of heritage houses and represents 50.000 of them throughout Europe. To do so the association gathers policy and European project activities.
