Crossroads of Heritage and Religion : Legacy and Sustainability of World Heritage Site Moravian Christiansfeld Hardback

Edited by Tine Damsholt, Marie Riegels Melchior, Christina Petterson, Tine Reeh

Hardback

Description

Looking at the crossroads between heritage and religion through the case study of Moravian Christiansfeld, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in July 2015, this anthology reaches back to the eighteenth century when the church settlement was founded, examines its legacy within Danish culture and modern society, and brings this history into the present and the ongoing heritagization processes.

Finally, it explores the consequences of the listing for the everyday life in Christiansfeld and discusses the possible and sustainable futures of a religious community in a World Heritage Site.
