The Cultural Heritage Act (Norwegian: Lov om kulturminner or kulturminneloven)[1] of 1978 is a Norwegian law that protects heritage sites and cultural environments. The structures and spaces that it covers are deemed to have cultural or architectural value. The act includes heritage such as structures and sites, sometimes the area around a monument, protected structures, boats, shipwrecks,[2][3] and cultural environments. The act describes what automatically enjoys cultural heritage protection and what may be protected under an individual decision.
