Old farms and cultural heritage – a resource for Västerbotten

The project will spread knowledge about how culturally and historically valuable buildings in the countryside can be restored, cared for, and maintained using traditional methods and sustainable materials. Through short courses, seminars, and workshops, owners and managers of old houses will have the opportunity to learn more about, among other things, timber framing, window renovation, facades, decorative painting, energy measures, and how to assess the condition of older buildings. By increasing knowledge about building preservation, the project aims to contribute to preserving cultural environments, giving old houses new life, and strengthening the countryside as an attractive place to live and work.

”We want old houses to be seen as a valuable resource and provide more knowledge to care for them for the future.”
