Résumé en anglais
This paper is a presentation of one of five case studies for a PhD-thesis onthe treatment of Norwegian wooden vernacular with a heritage status. In
the case of Røros my objective is to discern a pattern of architecturalpreservation from the time of the first listings in 1923 and onwards. Røros
has endured a century of preservationist involvement, something which hadinfluenced the townscape by the time it achieved World Heritage status in
1980. Through the study of seven listed buildings I document the changes
to a loved and seemingly well preserved street scene, reflect on how andwhy these changes happened, and discuss what they constitute today in
terms of authenticity, values and spirit of place.
