Stiftung Kulturerbe im ländlichen Raum Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

The Foundation for Cultural Heritage in the Rural Areas of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is a non-profit foundation under civil law that has been dedicated since 2005 to the preservation, maintenance, and sustainable use of cultural heritage in the rural regions of the federal state. It supports private and public initiatives, promotes the exchange of experience on topics such as the restoration and financing of manor houses and park complexes, and takes endangered properties into trust. The SKMV operates on a voluntary basis, cooperates with the State Office for Monument Preservation, and provides impetus for regional identity development through projects and publications.

We preserve the cultural heritage of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania to strengthen regional identity and sustainably shape livable spaces in rural areas. Through funding, networking, and long-term commitment, we maintain historic buildings while promoting contemporary usage and financing concepts.

The funding programs and projects are aimed at owners and custodians of historic manor and park estates, municipal and private actors in rural areas, associations and initiatives for monument preservation, as well as interested professionals and volunteers committed to the preservation, maintenance, and innovative use of cultural heritage in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
