Kunstdenkmäler#

Cultural Monuments (building complexes, individual objects, technical monuments), sculptures, paintings and printed works of artistic or cultural value. Their definition and preservation are governed by the law on monument protection and various provincial laws.

The book "Die Kunstdenkmaeler Oesterreichs" (Austria's Monuments of Art) is published by the Section for Monument Research (former Institute for Austrian Art Research) of the Bundesdenkmalamt and appears as a set of publications called "Dehio manual" (started in 1933 by D. Frey, continued by K. Ginhart). Since 1976 the updated editions of these art guides have been published separately for each province.
