On this link list we have collected websites from all over Europe which present the industrial heritage of a country or a region – most of them from a tourism point of view.

Links of single sites have deliberately not been taken into the collection as this may become unmanageable. An exception was made for industrial UNESCO World Heritage Sites, which you can find at the bottom of the countries list.

Numerous links can also be found on single site or thematic pages of our web portal.
