Heritage Buildings

Danish building culture is rich in heritage-listed and protected buildings. They represent value in terms of architecture and cultural history, which we must safeguard and protect.

Castles and manor houses

Castles and manor houses are characterized by large roof areas and prominent towers and spires. The buildings are old, yet they often contain newer technical and sensitive installations. In Denmark, great efforts are made to safeguard and protect these structures against damage, for example in connection with lightning strikes.

Electricon currently carries out regular maintenance and inspections at Danish castles, manor houses, and other cultural heritage buildings. We have extensive experience in combining the technical requirements for effective lightning protection with the special architectural and building-related challenges these structures present.

This experience has contributed to many unique solutions where, for example, existing building elements and materials can be naturally incorporated – and thus invisibly – into a lightning protection system.

We also have experience working under often restrictive requirements during installation work. We complete the task even under demanding conditions involving limited accessibility, excavation restrictions, or requirements for discretion.

Churches and cathedrals

Churches, cathedrals, and similar places of worship constitute a significant part of Denmark’s heritage-listed and protected building culture. They represent value in terms of architecture and cultural history—values that must be safeguarded and protected.

In addition to their cultural significance, these buildings serve as gathering places for many people. Therefore, lightning protection must not only protect the building itself, but to a great extent also the participants in ceremonies held within the building.
