Building regulations & monument protection

The Building Regulations and Monument Protection Department in Kevelaer has two important roles: It is the responsible lower building supervisory authority as well as the lower monument protection authority for the pilgrimage town.

As the lower building supervisory authority, we review and approve building applications, monitor all building projects in the city, archive building files, process building encumbrances and handle appeals. Our focus is on ensuring compliance with building regulations and implementing building control measures. We also offer comprehensive advisory services to avoid potential errors and ensure a smooth approval process.

In our role as the Lower Monument Protection Authority, we research, protect and preserve cultural monuments in Kevelaer. We maintain a list of monuments that lists all protected objects and offer an expert advisory service for monument protection. Our tasks are regulated by the Monument Protection Act and, in addition to dealing with monument protection issues, also include supporting projects for the preservation of cultural heritage.
