Bern, 03.15.2024 – The Federal Council adopted at its meeting on March 15, 2024 a new update of the Federal Inventory of built sites to be protected in Switzerland (ISOS). The list of national sites of the cantons of Friborg and Graubünden has been modified and the site surveys updated.

This new update marks the start of the revision of the ISOS in Fribourg. In a first phase, the work focused on the Broye district. No longer presenting the required qualities, Dompierre is removed from the list of sites of national importance. In Graubünden, the update concerns the Maloja region. Here, the list of ISOS sites remains unchanged.

The new site surveys (5 for Fribourg, 8 for Graubünden) will be available from May 1, 2024 in the form of geodata and PDF on the geoportal of the Confederation (map.geo.admin.ch) and on the geoportal of the Confederation ISOS (gisos.bak.admin.ch).

ISOS makes an essential contribution to the culture of quality buildings. It is part of the inventories of objects of national importance established by the Confederation on the basis of the Federal Law on Nature and Landscape Protection. Regularly re-examined and updated, it helps the authorities responsible for heritage conservation, land use planning and construction to identify buildings with heritage and cultural value and to safeguard them in the long term. The Federal Council decides on the registration, modification or deletion of objects from the Inventory, after having obtained the opinion of the cantons. The Confederation uses it systematically in carrying out its tasks. Cantons and municipalities must take this into account in their planning.
