Amazing Old Buildings in County Fermanagh

What Are Listed Buildings?

In Northern Ireland, a "listed building" is a building or structure that is officially marked as having "special architectural or historic interest." Think of it like a VIP list for buildings! These buildings are protected because they tell us a lot about the past and how people used to live and build.

There are different grades for listed buildings. Grade B+ buildings are super special. They might have been Grade A (the highest level) but have a few small changes or additions. They are still much better than regular Grade B buildings because of their unique features, beautiful insides, or important history.

Why Are Buildings Listed?

The idea of listing buildings started a bit later in Northern Ireland compared to other parts of the UK. The first laws to protect these buildings came out in 1972 and then updated in 1991. A government group called the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) is in charge of finding and listing these important buildings.

They started looking for special buildings in 1974. By 1994, they had checked many buildings. They even started a "Second Survey" to update their information and check everything again. This helps them keep a public record of all listed and unlisted buildings. The NIEA has special rules to decide if a building is important enough to be listed.

Protecting Our Historic Buildings

Once a building is listed, it's very important to protect it. This means you can't make big changes to its structure or its old features without getting special permission. This permission comes from local authorities. It helps make sure these historic places stay safe for future generations.

There are about 8,500 listed buildings in Northern Ireland. This is about 2% of all buildings! Around 580 of these are the extra special Grade B+ buildings.
