Townscape protection

Protect historic substance and carefully integrate new elements

A town is defined by its architecture, objects and open spaces, within their historic context. The aim of townscape protection is to protect historical substance and carefully integrate new elements, in order to preserve the historic centre. This is why new constructions, additions or alterations are treated with special care within the boundaries of Hallein historic centre.
