Abstract

Small secular heritage is a significant, often overlooked part of the Austrian cultural landscape. The thesis “Secular Small Heritage in Rural Austria” studies this heritage using a case study of the Styrian municipality of Semriach. Although small sacred heritage is studied frequently, secular structures such as barns and grainaries remain overlooked. The article presents the most important findings of the thesis and conveys the state of research on small secular heritage. It follows the structure of the aforementioned thesis and discusses its most important findings. One thing became clear: although small secular heritage makes up an important part of local history, its preservation mainly depends on private owners. Thus the public should be made aware, and targeted protective measures should be taken to better regulate the decay of this heritage and to protect its cultural significance.
