Legal status Description of the interaction between different legal instruments for Protection of the Cultural Heritage of Sweden Introduction Statutory protection of historic vestiges has long standing in Sweden. In 1666 a royal proclamation with the force of law placed under royal prerogative "old monuments and antiquities". It became prohibited to interfere with vestiges, such as they could then be perceived, which reminded of the greatness of the forebears, particularly those of royal ascent. Graves, stones with runic inscriptions, ruined buildings and similar obvious remains of the past became protected from being tampered with. A number of legal instruments have since been developed and replaced by others, but the core of the legal message has survived: The physical elements of the cultural heritage should be preserved. If necessity dictates interference with a monument, then the extent of alterations should be determined and monitored by the authorities and the vanishing elements carefully recorded. To a great extent these principles have been adhered to. There has been a difference in attitude towards remains of what has already been abandoned and has lost economic importance, and structures 23
which still have a viable function in society. Rules protecting the archaeological heritage have therefore been adopted earlier than rules protecting architectural values. The architectural values of church buildings have, hovewer, enjoyed supervision of the wordly authorities even before the days of the royal proclamation. The safeguarding of the cultural heritage has always been a responsibility for the State, today the government (Ministry of Culture) and its agencies. These agencies are the National Heritage Board and the cultural heritage departments of the 21 County Administrations. Gradually, however, local governments have been entrusted with - and become interested in - legal responsibilities, particularly with regard to the architectural values of the built environment. The statutory framework for protection of heritage values consists of several acts of Parliament, supplemented by goverment regulations. The main statutory instrument is the Cultural Monuments (etc.) Act (SFS 1988:950). This act covers archaeological monuments and sites, listed historical buildings, ecclesiastical heritage, and cultural objects (export/restitution). The Environmental Code (SFS 1998:808) - in force as of 1 January, 1999 - proclaims as one its aims the protection and care of valuable natural and cultural environments. It provides inter alia for the establishment of cultural reserves. The Planning and Building Act (SFS 1987:10) provides legal tools for primarily the local governments - there are 289 local government districts in Sweden - in looking after cultural values. This act contains rules as to how the cultural heritage should be identified and safeguarded in planning procedures and in the screening of planning application. Cultural Monuments Act The act's introductory provision holds that protecting and caring for Sweden's cultural environment is a responsibility to be shared by everyone. The County Administrations monitor this task within their respective regions, and surveillance at the national level is entrusted to the National Heritage Board. Archaeological monuments and sites are protected directly by law. No administrative order is necessary. The extent of protection is determined in the act by a list of protected categories of archaeological remains. Based upon this list, inventories have led to the setting up of a register kept by the National Heritage Board, and most monuments in the register have been entered onto official maps. Anyone with the intention of using land where archaeological remains may be affected must consult the County Administration as to extent and importance of protected remains. All physical interference with protected remains need permission by the County Administration, and if permission is given, it is generally on condition that the applicant pay for archaeological investigations and documentation. This does not apply if the protected remains were entirely unknown at the start of the operation; then the State bears responsibility for archaeological costs. An applicant may appeal refusals to grant permission to the Government, and may contest decisions regarding archaeological costs in a court of law. The Act also covers portable archaeological finds. These are defined as objects which have no owner when found, and 1. are discovered in or near an ancient or site 24
