Abstract (in English)
Already in 1835, very shortly after the “creation” of the Kingdom of Belgium, a Royal Commission for Monuments was appointed by royal decree. The duty of this expert commission consisted of advising the Belgian government on several aspects of heritage preservation. This early public interest in the maintenance of historic buildings is very often linked with the firm intention of a young nation to affirm its own identity through the remains of a glorious past, and with the state of neglect of many monuments as a result of the French Revolution. Despite the efforts of the Royal Commission, it would last until 1931 before a formal law was voted on the protection of monuments and sites. This first Belgian heritage law offered possibilities for protecting monuments presenting a national interest due to a historic, artistic or scientific value. In order to preserve these “common values” for the future, the property rights of owners were restricted: they were not allowed to bring alterations to the exterior of a monument without prior permission of the Royal Commission for Monuments and the local authorities. These restrictions, public easements, didn’t lead to compensation for the owners of protected monuments. However when restoration works became necessary, subsidies could be granted within the budget available. The intention to preserve monuments even lead to the inscription in this first monument law of an article creating the possibility of expropriation for the national and the local authorities when a monument was threatened with severe damage or decay in case it remained in the hands of his owner.
