history

The institution was founded on May 20, 1630 by Gustav II Adolf of Sweden after his interest in antiques had been aroused by his teacher, the rune researcher Johannes Bureus , among others . The model for this facility was a Danish decree from 1622, which served " opsöge og antegne alleslags Antiquiteter og Documenter " (German: "Detecting and collecting antiques and documents of all kinds"), with which the Danish rune researcher and archivist Ole Wormius was commissioned. So Bureus traveled the country, examining rune stones , collecting coins and ancient chronicles, court books, letters and manuscripts. Around 1,600 ancient monuments were researched under the direction of Bureus. The Central Office for the Preservation of Monuments is associated with the Swedish State Historical Museums Statens historiska museer ( State Historical Museum , Royal Coin Cabinet ), together they maintain the library of the Royal Academy of Fine Literature, History and Archeology Swedish Kungliga Vitterhetsakademiens bibliotek .

After the establishment of this authority in 1630, a monument protection law was passed in Sweden in 1662 and the University of Uppsala established a professorship for antiquities.

The tasks of the Central Office for the Preservation of Monuments are the protection, documentation and maintenance of culturally significant objects, places and surroundings. This includes missions for the protection of monuments, research and research information, care and conservation as well as archaeological investigations. The Central Office for the Preservation of Monuments is assigned to the Ministry of Culture.
