The assignment

The municipality of Krimpenerwaard has a rich cultural history. From characteristic historic village and town centers to monumental farms and special buildings in the peat meadow landscape. This heritage tells the story of our municipality and contributes to the identity and quality of our living environment.

At the same time, our heritage does not stand still. Owners want to maintain, make sustainable, renovate, or give a new function to buildings. This requires expert assessments where the preservation of monumental values and room for development go hand in hand.
