During the nineteenth century, a change developed in the way
architectural objects from the distant past were viewed by
contemporaries. Such edifices, be they churches, castles, chapels
or various other buildings, were not only admired for their
aesthetic values, but also for the role they played in ancient
times, and their role as reminders of important events from the
national past. Architectural heritage often was (and still is) an
important element of nation building. Authors address the process
of building national myths around certain architectural objects.
National narratives are questioned, as is the position
architectural heritage played in the nineteenth and the early
twentieth centuries.
