Cultural heritage - Askeladden WMS from Askeladden, the national cultural heritage database managed by Riksantikvaren (the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage). The dataset covers the full range of cultural heritage values:

Cultural heritage and cultural environments from modern times, protected by decision or by regulation
Temporarily protected heritage and ongoing protection cases
Buildings and environments worth preserving locally, without formal protection but on a national or municipal list
Cultural heritage protected under the Planning and Building Act through consideration zones
For a developer, cultural heritage data is a required check at the zoning stage. An automatically protected heritage site on or below ground can in practice stop a development or lead to costly archaeological excavations under section 9 of the Cultural Heritage Act. For home buyers, a protected building can mean both limits on alterations and special rights (grants, exemption from some building regulations). Part of Placepoint's nature map layers (conservation interests). Related: Gule lister (the Byantikvaren's municipal registers), Nature and cultural areas.
