As of 2019, Denmark has ten sites inscribed on the list of World Heritage Sites, and a further four on the tentative list. Selected by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), World Heritage Sites are places of importance to cultural or natural heritage as described in the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, established in 1972. Denmark ratified the convention on 25 July 1979, making its historical sites eligible for inclusion on the list. The first site in the country to be added to the list was the Jelling Mounds, Runic Stones and Church (pictured), inscribed at the 18th Session of the World Heritage Committee in 1994. Further sites were added in 1995, 2000, 2004, 2009, 2014, 2017, and 2018. Three sites, Kujataa, Aasivissuit – Nipisat, and Ilulissat Icefjord, are located in Greenland, an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. Of the ten sites, seven are cultural and three are natural. (Full list...)
