2026 Theme - Heritage at Risk: Revive, Resist, Reimagine.

This year’s shared European Heritage Days theme is Heritage at Risk: Revive, Resist, Reimagine. 

A brochure is available online with guidance on planning events that celebrate the shared theme.

Doors Open Days is part of European Heritage Days. The European Heritage Days are the most widely celebrated participatory cultural event shared by the people of Europe. The Council of Europe launched the initiative in 1985, and in 1999 was joined by the European Union to create the joint action, which has continued up to the present day.
