Search the Landmarks Database

The Landmark Buildings and Places database makes accessible a range of landmark buildings, that is, buildings that are significant because of their age, renown of their architects and builders, function, uniqueness, building material and style, and other factors that motivate municipal, provincial and/or federal designation.

Beginning in the 1980s, Alberta Culture and Multiculturalism (now Alberta Culture and Community Spirit) produced a series of walking and/or driving tour brochures for various communities throughout Alberta that provide information about historic buildings and places. With the permission of Alberta Culture and Community Spirit, the Heritage Community Foundation has drawn on these and other resources to create the Landmark Buildings and Places database. Entries identify their source.

This database has been designed to assist you to browse for landmarks using the category listing below, or use the Browse All Landmarks link.
