Norway ratified the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on 12 May 1977 and its World Heritage sites include both cultural and natural properties.
Cultural inscriptions frequently emphasise medieval wooden architecture (such as stave churches and historic harbour wharfs), early industrial heritage, and prehistoric rock art. Natural recognitions showcase Norway’s iconic fjord landscapes, including glaciated valleys and mountain ecosystems. Supplementary transnational and mixed nominations highlight traditional livelihoods and collaborative scientific heritage across the Arctic and Atlantic regions.
