Welcome

This website provides information about the cultural heritage of the Curonian Spit. The focus is on the tangible cultural heritage: on the one hand, the cultural landscape, which has been shaped and changed over centuries by the interplay of the sea, wind and human activities; on the other hand, the built cultural heritage, as it has survived from earlier times to the present day in the settlements of the Spit. The information presented here is the result of a research project that has been conducted since 2018 at the University of Tübingen (Germany) in cooperation with partners from the region. Visitors to the Spit, its inhabitants, decision-makers and otherwise interested parties will find a wide range of information on the development and inventory of the material cultural heritage on the Curonian Spit on this website.
