A Greenlandic restoration project earns a top EU cultural-heritage award
Built in the 18th century as a whaling station, Ilimanaq’s colonial buildings are now part of another vital industry — and an inspiration for Europe.
Built in the late 18th century, the colonial buildings at the Ilimanaq whaling station and mission some 190 miles (300 kilometers) north of the Arctic Circle, have received Europa Nostra designation, in recognition of a Danish and Greenlandic project to restore them to their original state.
