online form (max. 350 words)
Submission deadline: 7 April 2023
The preservation of manor houses, also designated as historic houses, is an increasingly
sensitive issue. Some of them are private property, but nevertheless are a testimony of an
era and culture. And therefore these buildings are considered cultural heritage to be
preserved. Moreover, in some cases they are recognized by their respective governments,
being classified and recognized as National Monuments, Buildings of Public Interest, or
Municipal, in the Portuguese case, in order to protect and enhance them under the current
legislation.
In this sense, this panel seeks to give space for debate around issues that deal with the
future of manor houses, solares, palaces, and historic houses that were built in different
geographical spaces, and that are private or even public property.
In this panel, we welcome contributions that seek to disseminate studies and project
proposals concerning rehabilitation and preservation solutions for the future of this
heritage. But also, develop a critical analysis about: the cultural and authenticity values
versus the adopted solutions (related to culture or tourism sectors); the social and
economic impact of this heritage on local development; the impact of the country’s
political, social, and economic strategies in this heritage; the vulnerability of this heritage
when shared in the World.
Keywords: Manor houses; Rehabilitation; Preservation; Tourism; Culture.

Policies; Heritage Practices; Heritage Management; Conservation, Restoration and
Sustainability.
