Honorary Dane answering here! 😬

Your question prompted me to visit again the official Danish T-list site and - surprise! - it has been updated on October 15th, 2021 and we have new entries. Still, the one on the UNESCO page still hasn't moved. Anyway, moler landscapes continue to be there, so while we know that e.g. Dragør is more or less going to be de facto removed, all klints are safer (and worthier, if you ask me).

In general I get the impression that Denmark overall is not moving too much, and that for now they are just going all-in with the ring fortresses. For the successive year(s) I would strongly bet on the workers' assembly halls, so moler will have to wait in any case... it will surely preceed the dormant Amalienborg, but probably Møns klint (whenever they will officially add it) is more flashy. So not before 2025? I'm sorry don't really have informed updates.

On a more personal note, I would anyway recommend a visit to the place, especially the islands of Mors and Fur. But take into account that it is a sensible stretch from Aarhus (counting that you also have to go back) on secondary roads, and to get there and roam on the countryside, the ferries and take a look at the museum and the quarries takes its time: at the very least a full, long day to appreciate it (but that might be me).

I still intend to write a review about it (and the remaining Danish sites), but the usual mix of extremely busy periods and procrastination tendencies is holding me... :-/

Thank you very much Astraftis :)

Douze points for Solivigant for anticipating this, but Durham Miners' Hall in the UK has announced that it has been selected as part of the Danish-led Workers Assembly Halls nomination. https://redhillsdurham.org/redhills-to-join-unesco-bid/


The Durham press release states that eight locations are going forward out of 74 applicants, located across Denmark, Belgium, Finland, Australia, UK, Canada and Argentina. So the five mentioned by Els, plus Durham, makes six. Any one have any intel on what the missing Canadian and Argentinian components might be?

I follow the Danish "Workers' Assembly Halls as UNESCO World Heritage" facebook group, but there's no mention there of a Canadian or Argentinian site. Also not a message that the 8 locations are definitive. They will be aiming for inscription in 2025.

The "Labor Temple" in Vancouver from 1911 would seem to be a likely candidate. It has just undergone a major renovation as well.
But I can find no confirmatory news item or similar

Vancouver "needs" a WHS. Its long running attempt to put together a "Chinatown" nomination doesn't seem to have got anywhere yet.....

Bad luck Vancouver - according to the folks at Durham they are aiming to partner with Winnipeg:

"We're hoping Edificio De La Confederación General Del Trabajo De La Republica Argentina, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Ukrainian Labour Temple, Winnipeg, Canada both make their countries' tentative list too. Hope this helps!"

Thanks for info. Interesting that they are both called Labo(u)r "Temples" - must have become a "Canadian" (and US) term - see this https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Labor_temples
I see that the Vancouver building predated the Winnipeg one by 8 years...

I am really wondering why the 'Burcht van Berlage' in Amsterdam, the oldest labour building in the Netherlands (1899-1900), which is an absolute architectural gem, is not included in this selection. Somehow the Netherlands always misses out on these kinds of serial nominations.

Good suggestion! I never heard of it - https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burcht_van_Berlage

The Danes had a very open process to look for international partners via their facebook site, 'De Burcht van Berlage' was named once but not followed up.

Wow, I had no idea that exisited and I was searching for Amsterdam school and associated works for a recent visit.

It seems it was built at the same time as the magnificent Beurs (not just because it currently has a Tony's Chocolonely cafe and shop in it).

Thanks for flagging it up Sebasfhb
